    Adding bacon to your grilled cheese makes something already great even better

    If you know me at all, even just a little tiny bit, you know how much I like bacon. So this bacon-grilled cheese recipe should come as no surprise.

    Since I needed bacon and it's grilled cheese month, I decided to make a bacon grilled cheese.

    Per usual, adding bacon made a good thing even better.

    A grilled cheese doesn't usually have vegetables (unless you make this heavenly roasted veggie grilled cheese), and this bacon grilled cheese is no exception.

    Be sure you serve with a side salad or bowl of fruit to make up for that.

    • 1 tablespoon green onions chopped

    Instructions

    • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Spread each slice of bread with the softened butter. Top one slice of bread (butter side dowwith the cheddar cheese.
