Pile The Cheese High
Any cheese that melts will make a great Grilled Cheese. If you are really good at cooking a Grilled Cheese try adding more and thicker slabs of cheese.
Some people think a Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort food and I tend to agree with them. I love eating mine with a cup of veggie soup on the side. And don't forget to add new things to your creations.
If you love grilled cheese think about experimenting with ideas for new creations. You might even think about joining a Cheese of the Month Club How great to serve up new an interesting Grilled Cheese variations every month to your family and friends.Featured Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Blend tomato paste, chilies, and molasses in processor until smooth. Spread 1 tablespoon chipotle mixture over 1 side of each bread slice.

- Recently I made a grilled cheese for my granddaughter and she asked me why it was so good. I told her that I put two slices of cheese on it. She said, "Oh?!" So you are correct when you say pile on the cheese.
I also spread a bit of mayo on the cheese. Yum.

- I got two good things from my ex husband. And this is definitely in order of importance!
1. My daughter
2. Putting jelly on top of grilled cheese sandwiches!
They are light years apart in importance, but both are wonderful!
