Not everyone is raised learning how to cook. One thing I LOVE about this site is sharing the differences and regional varieties to things I've become accustomed to while growing up. My sons are in their early-mid 20's and never "grasped" what I tried to teach; except they both prefer making their own meals rather than having fast food - therefore I think this is a fantastic addition to AR family! Thanks for sharing this staple recipe - my boys sure appreciate it too!

This is one of my favorite classic sandwiches. I stick some dill pickle chips in the sandwich after the cheese is melted. Yummy!

This is the BEST way to make a grilled cheese - the secret is using real butter, not margarine, softened and smoothed on all the way to the crust's edge - I switch out american cheese with shredded mozzerella and sprinkle the inside with a touch of garlic powder and pre-mixed "italian seasoning" in a jar for a yummy italian-style sandwich.

The basic grilled cheese, but when I was pregnant; I couldn't get enough cheese. Soooo I added cream cheese on one of the inside layers of bread after I put it on the pan and put the cheese on top of the cream cheese. Still love it to this day.

Allrecipes wouldn't be truly have all recipes without this one, and I wouldn't have thought to cook it had I not run across it while in stump as to what to make. Try some variations based upon what is available to you, and what you like in a normal sandwich, always good!

Love a grilled cheese every once in awhile! The BEST way to eat a grilled cheese is with some chili in it...seriously! Try it and you'll be hooked as I was! For those college students, canned chili even. BTW...eat with fork, may be messy :)

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!

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.

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.

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.
