When my husband was having dental problems, one of his
favorite things to eat was grilled cheese sandwiches. That’s because they were hot, soft, and
delicious. I made so many that I
perfected the skill. I heat up my flat skillet;
butter the bread, using white bread and real butter. I put one slice on the skillet, then place
one slice of American cheese, either Kraft or Borden's, then top off with
another buttered slice of bread. I leave
it on the skillet on low, to let the bread turn golden brown before flipping it
over to brown the other side. You don't
want to cook it too high, the bread will brown, but the cheese won't melt. In just a few minutes you will have a perfect
grilled cheese sandwich.

I didn't know at the time that there was a whole month
dedicated to the Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
So, I set about trying to learn more about this tastey treat. The grilled cheese sandwich has been around
since the 1920's. Cheese sandwiches have
been around longer, but once you heat them up it really raises the bar. My extensive research lead me to this site:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/40-amazing-grilled-cheese-sandwich-recipes with
40 amazing grilled cheese sandwich recipes, and seeing as there is a whole
month to celebrate the sandwich, here are some new ways to try it.

There are thousands of combinations you can use; the
different cheeses, different types of bread and even the use of condiments all
change the taste and flavor. There is even
a grilled cheese academy where an annual contest is held for the best grilled
cheese recipe. To learn more about it

Grilled cheese sandwiches are a great comfort food. I like eating them with tomato soup, and to
celebrate National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month I plan to have it once or
twice this month. If you have a special
way to fix them, let us know in the comment section. If you have never made one, why not try this
recipe from allrecipes.com and let us know what you think.
