Gourmet Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese (only $1.00!)



I am in love... with a sandwich. A grilled cheese sandwich to be exact.

I have always been a fan of cheese and apples. I have early memories as a child of eating a snack of apple slices with american cheese. And let's face it... Bacon makes everything better!

I came across a similar recipe on Jamhands.net and have adapted the following recipe for my family's liking:

Ingredients for one sandwich:

Sliced Artisan Bread (approx. $.04)
1/2 small Granny Smith apple (approx. $.16)
2 tbsp shredded cheddar (approx. $.10)
1 oz chipotle white cheddar or pepperjack cheese sliced thin (approx. $.20)
2 slices of cooked bacon (approx. $.50)

Butter the outsides of the bread slices as you would any normal grilled cheese sandwich (I prefer a spray-able butter, easier!). Lay one slice buttered side down and lay the spicy white cheddar. Then top with thinly sliced apples. Next add the cooked bacon slices. Finally top all with the shredded cheddar and second slice of bread (buttered side up, of course!). Cook on both sides until golden brown and cheeses are melted! Enjoy this gourmet but frugal melt for only around $1.00!
