How can I possibly make a grilled cheese more unhealthy? Add bacon.
Grilled Cheese with Bacon
- 2 slices bacon
- 2 slices rye bread
- A slab of butter, approximately 1 tablespoon
- Cheese (I'm lazy, so I used a slice of American cheese. But you should feel free to experiment with one or more unprocessed cheeses.)
Fry up the slices of bacon and when crisped to your liking remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to soak up the excess grease.
Off heat, remove the bacon grease from the pan.
Tip: Store bacon grease in a jar and use it for making popcorn later on. It gives it an awesome smoky flavor. Thanks to Kat for enhancing my life with this bit of knowledge!
Over medium heat, melt about half a tablespoon of butter in the pan. Add a slice of bread.
Top the bread with cheese and after about 30 seconds, add the bacon (break into pieces first). Top with another slice of bread.
After another 30 seconds or so, remove the sandwich with a spatula and add the other half tablespoon of butter. As it melts, flip the sandwich back into the pan.
Remove after a minute or so… or when the bread has turned crispy and golden on both sides.
Mmm… bacon…
For the record, I did eat a peach after this monstrosity.
Enjoy! With or without tomato soup, but definitely not without the bacon.
