This is my classic recipe for a grilled cheese, I've been having it since I was a kid. Perfect comfort food for me.

I also have had these since I was a little girl. Was my family the only family that used a "press" back then (and now) by pressing the sandwich, whilst cooking, with the bottom of a pot big enough to cover the sandwich? Comes out nice and flat--like it was cooked with a panini press.

This is the classic grilled cheese sandwich. I use quite a bit more margarine though. I dip mine in ketchup, the rest of my family loves tomato soup with these.

I like to pour about two teaspoons of olive oil in a heated skillet. Then quickly place a slice of white bread in the pan and immediately remove to coat one side with oil. Place the second slice of bread in the pan, swirl around by hand to soak up the remainder of the oil, place two slices of American cheese and the first slice of bread on top. Grill about two minutes a side. This is quick, easy and healthy.

Absolutely the best grilled cheese recipe I have ever cooked. But I did make just a few changes. First off I was thinking cheese was not all it is cracked up to be. I used tuna. I toasted the bread and added the tuna. Then I added cheese on top. I grilled it and it was perfect, Thanks allrecipes. I never would have mastered this recipe without you.!

Just wanted to share our version of this American classic: we like to add sliced pickles to ours. Hubby enjoys jalepenos in his. Sometimes, if the mood strikes, I even add a touch of worchestishire sauce to the butter.

The wonderful thing about All Recipes is that it is used by a very diverse group of people. So while this recipe seems very basic and to some even ridiculous, please remember that to a kid just learning to cook this is very valuable. Also, just because we grew up eating these, does not mean that someone in another country did. So remember that there are people here trying to learn new things to make before you go bashing this recipe for being too simple!

allrecipes.com caters to all ages. I for one think it's great that they include simple recipes. Kids who are learning to cook come on here and this is a great start for them to use the stove. Obvious to adults, yes. For some kids, no. Plus, the process for them is more fun if they get to print out their own recipe rather than making Mom or Dad's recipe (even if they are the same). I know my niece was very proud to do this yesterday and showed everyone her recipe. Thanks for the recipe AR. Made my niece's day!

There are many young people just learning to cook, my daughter being one of them, and I think it is great to put very basic recipes on this site. I think this site is for all levels of cooks.
