cooking club: the ultimate grilled cheese

i really love grilled cheese. i really do. what could be better than buttery bread and melted cheese! and then there are a slew of fillings to add in -- bacon, sliced tomatoes, sauted onions and mushrooms, granny smith apple slices, etc. i love it all.

so, when mrs. jones chose ina's ultimate grilled cheese, i was all too ready to give it a try. i followed the recipe exactly -- except i only used about 2 T. of dijon mustard in the sauce. (that's all i had.) and i used low sodium bacon, cooked in the microwave.

mr. pike and little girl were oohing and aahing. (little girl's sandwich was minus the bacon. i'm not sure why she's not a fan.) we liked the tangy spread between the sharp cheddar and gruyere cheese and crunchy bacon.

i'd make this again. we loved it. check out more thoughts on the recipe at the cooking club blog.
