An all time classic. I make them this way all the time. Sometimes I add a little ham or ham and onion. Another slight change is to brush the bread with a little olive oil and omit the butter. It makes the bread a litte crisper. As I said though an all time classic!!!

Good basic recipe. I like to add to it. sliced tomatoes, bacon, ham. Sometimes whatever is leftover in the fridge. Also the best way to cut a grilled cheese is with a pizza cutter !

I personally like grilled cheese with processed cheese slices as it gets that ooey-gooeyness! At home I ALWAYS use onion and sometimes ham or turkey. I think I will try the suggestion of bacon like one reviewer said. Maybe try to mix an american slice with a swiss slice too, it's nummy! Oh also, I saw a tip on another toasted sandwich recipe from this site saying to keep it from getting soggy is to toast the bread first. It works and I'll never go back to the old way! I lightly toast the bread, let it cool on wooden cutting board (so butter won't melt), then butter and grill.

I have to say; hey, love that the site put this up, cuz some out there wouldn't know the delight of the original grilled cheese! My version? I put mayonnaise on the inside of the bread with the American cheese; and yes, a nice med-low heat to get the perfect crunchy "grilled" flavor. Dont know why, but this is a favorite of almost every person I know!

Classic!

Who really can't make a grilled cheese? This is no variation from the old standby, but how can you mess it up???

I honestly didn't realize All Recipes would print this. Grilled cheese has been around & the know how forever. had to check it out. Nothen different than the "original" way. The fun thing is add stuff to sandwich as in ham, garlic salt, pickle, onion. be creative.

some things i do: add a sprinkling of italian seasoning to the cheese... and of course, sometimes a couple slices of ham or bacon.

I like a little more margarine on mine. Largely dependent on the quality of bread and cheese used. Awesome served with tomato soup. Best with velveeta slices...yum.

Great recipe. The only change I made was to use real cheddar instead of processed :)

To make this "Old Classic" a little different at times, place some thin slices of chipped ham or thin slices of red sweet onion or a slice of garden fresh tomato on the cheese and let it melt into it. Use your imagination with this. You will be surprised of the good flavors you will taste.

This is THE way to make an awesome grilled cheese! I read the reviews and I am definitely going to try it in the Foreman grill now. It's delicious with Campbell's Tomato Bisque. Dip the sandwich in it!

Well ... duh!

Classic Recipe! I like mine with a lot of butter flavor so I put butter on both sides of the bread, some in the pan (as well as cooking spray). I then put the bread in and toast one side, then flip and add cheese, then cook other side. Might be more fattening, but it sure tastes good!

My 84-year-old Aunt makes these and adds some - or several - drops/dollops (i.e. to taste) of sundried tomato salad dressing to the cheese filling before flipping to cook the other side. Five stars w/ the SDT dressing!
