Bacon Cheddar Ranch Grilled Cheese
a simple combination of ranch, cheddar and bacon, sandwiched between crisp, seared bread – utterly amazing!
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick cut bread (I used Texas toast)
- 8 slices of thick cut bacon
- 1 (8 oz) block sharp cheddar
- 1/4 c. ranch dressing
- butter, for toasting bread
Instructions
- Season your bacon with pepper (and a pinch of salt if desired) Cook the 8 slices of bacon on your griddle or skillet. Remove bacon to paper towels and let drain.
- Grate the block of cheddar cheese.
- Rip bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, mix torn bacon, grated cheese and ranch dressing.
- Divide mixture on top of 4 slices of bread. Make a sandwich by topping each with another slice of bread.
- Butter the top slice of bread and place in skillet/griddle butter side down (heated to medium-low). Immediately butter other side.
- Cook grilled cheese for 3-5 minutes on each side. Watch it carefully so that it doesn’t burn.
- Cut into triangles and serve hot with soup on the side.
