Just watched on The Kitchen and can’t wait to make.

I prefer just the basic, yellow cheese sandwich that we grew up with. I have one suggestion. Use the spray butter instead of margarine. It’s easier to deal with and you don’t have all the calories.

I did make this for myself and my husband and it was okay, we didn’t care too much for the white cheese, so I’ll just stick to the original American grill cheese with just the regular American yellow cheese.

I think that this plate was delicious and certainly better than the grilled cheese sandwich that I usually make. I really recommend this recipe.

Instead of butter use Real Mayonnaise. It adds huge flavor and browns perfectly. Lower heat works best. Add bacon just because, yum
