Bacon Grilled Cheese

Perfect for lunch served alongside tomato soup or with a smear of tomato jam. They are great for game day or movie night. Grilled cheese with bacon is a fancy, filling and flavorful take on a family favorite!

How to Make Bacon Grilled Cheese

Start with a bread thick enough to hold the melted cheese and heavy enough so it won’t fall apart. Grilled cheese with bacon (and tomato should you choose) needs hearty bread. Sourdough is a great choice!

Cook bacon slices until they are crisp. Remove the bacon and drain off all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pan.
Spread mayonnaise on the outside of two slices of sourdough bread (or bread of your choice).
Layer the cheese and bacon (and optional tomato) over two slices of bread and top with remaining bread.
Grill those slices of heaven up!

To Make Bacon Grilled Cheese: Reheat the pan you cooked the bacon in on low heat and let the bacon grease become fully melted.

Gently place the bacon grilled cheese sandwich mayonnaise side out in the center of the pan and cook until golden. Flip and continue cooking until you see the cheese oozing from the sides.

What to Serve with Grilled Cheese

Everything goes with a bacon grilled cheese sandwich!

Traditionally, it’s great with tomato soup (or any soup recipe you love)! On a warm day, we love to add in a tossed salad with a tangy vinaigrette. And nothing tastes better than washing it all down with an icy glass of Watermelon Lemonade!
