After I smothered a thick layer of BBQ sauce on the bread, I added the cheese. Yum yum.   Smoked gouda is my favorite cheese of all-time, but it was cool to try something different: Great Midwest Smoked Cheddar.

Finally, add more cheese. This is an amazing fromage grille’ as the French call a grilled cheese.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup (more or less) of your favorite smokey BBQ sauce
  • 3 slices cooked bacon
  • several slices Great Midwest Smoked Cheddar Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-low.
  • Butter your bread slices. Place one slice of bread butter-side-down on a plate or baking sheet. Drizzle the bread with BBQ sauce. Add a layer of cheese. Add the bacon, more BBQ sauce and another layer of cheese. Place the second slice of bread butter-side-up on top.
  • GRILL your sandwich until golden brown on both sides. You want the grill kind of low so you don't torch the bread (you can also do this on the stove in a pan, of course). Close the lid on the grill so your cheese melts. Flip and toast the other side.
  • Remove from the grill, slice and chow down.

I particularly liked the Mango Fire Cheddar (although it was flaming hot!!!) and the Cranberry Cheddar (Which was one of the few fruit cheddars I liked.). And of course… I liked the Smoked Cheddar.

I do like bacon on mine, but I'd have to say caramelized onions are probably my favorite thing to add (or avocado, or sautéed mushrooms or just plain).

I love tomatoes on my grilled cheese and a bit of smoked tomato seasoning...
