Cheese on cheese on cheese on carbs on carbs on carbs!!! If this grilled cheese could sing, that’s probably what it would be yelling at the top its cheesy lungs. Five grilled cheeses in, and i’m already talking about grilled cheeses singing and having lungs…it’s gonna be a long month.

Now this is nothing new (nor is anything under the sun), but since I had seen/heard about the idea so many times, I had to try one out for myself. Although I have no affinity for Kraft Dinner (like some do!), it was a delightful grilled cheese. PLENTY of cheesy flavour, crunch from the panko and fried KD patties, along with delicious caramelized cheese on the patties (mmmm caramelized). I’m not a plain pasta and sauce guy, I need a lil something else, and that something else is BACON. If I create this one again, bacon is definitely going to make an appearance! In fact, I would fry the bacon, then probably fry the KD patties in the bacon grease, AND THEN DIE.

So how about we get to this grilled cheese.

    Those look fantastic! I have been wanting to try a mac n cheese grilled cheese for a while and I was thinking of adding BBQ pulled to to them.

      Thanks Kevin! I definitely think adding some meat is the way to go! I wish I had added some bacon to this one!

    Oh my!! I would totally add some bacon too, some saltiness to this carb bomb would make it even more irresistible 🙂
