#Holiday - Happy National Grilled Cheese Day!

Contributor: Ansley Ansley
Americans have an affinity for celebrating seemingly non-celebratory things for any given reason. Today is National Grilled Cheese Day and April is National Grilled Cheese Month.


See, even the squirrels dig it!

I like my grilled cheese with ham, in France this would be known as a "Croque Monsieur". Paper thin slices of fresh deli ham cooked to perfection with a slice of good old American cheese, toasted bread and a thin layer of mayo on each slice. It's so good for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

If I go the traditional route and just do the bread and cheese without ham, I like to dip it in ketchup.

How do you like your grilled cheese sandwiches?

National Grilled Cheese Day? That's pretty hilarious

I like my grilled cheese pretty simply, usually just bread and cheese, but I don't mind mixing the cheeses up or putting some fancy cheese in it, and sometimes I'll add a little bit extra (like tomatoes, or ham) to spice it up. But almost all the time I will eat it with a bowl of tomato soup, what a great pair!

Now I need to go make some grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't make it with American cheese, though. I make it with extra sharp white cheddar.

I'll do soy cheese grilled sandwiches (on a lined grill pan) for myself and my at home sick kid today. And, we're both Llamas....

I love grilled cheese! This is so exciting

Most of the time I dip my grilled cheese in apple sauce. Sometimes I have cream of mushroom soup with it. And sometimes I put bacon in it and just eat it alone like that.

My boyfriend likes to experiment with his but lately I think he's found one he likes. He puts hot sauce (we love the shriracha hot sauce) and onions in it.

Love the squirrel. I like plain grilled cheese, or even better with tomato on it.

Sometimes fresh tomato on it, but I hate the tomato cooked, so I would have to cook the grilled cheese, peel it open, put raw tomato on it and then eat it. I am just too lazy.

Haha. I haven't had a grilled cheese sandwich for quite some time now. Now I have a sudden craving.

Anyways, I do like my grilled cheese with plain ol' butter, cheese, and bread. I do throw in some ham if I'm feeling wild that day. LOL

Hmm. Mind if I ask where abouts you're from (generally speaking, not exact locale)? I've never thought of such a combination with the mushroom soup or the applesauce. I like to drip green beans in apple sauce.

I'm so picky about cheddar cheese. I like it but only on certain things and a grilled cheese isn't one of them. I would like to try a combination of cheddar and some white cheeses one day, though. I think it would mellow out the bite a bit.

Mmm. I use a 40/60 mix of Duke's mayo and butter for the outside of mine. The mayo gives it a more even browning and adds a bit of flavor.

I like to use extra cheese! I dont have to have the soup, but it sure is good!

Moo! (or whatever Llamas say)

I loooove grilled cheese and tomato soup! Normally I end up using some kind of sexy cheese though, since american wigs me out. Munster or jack or even cheddar make some epic sandwiches.

I love grilled cheese! And some tomato soup makes it even better. Recently I've been making them in the toaster oven to cut down on the butter.

Sometimes I'll add turkey slices, tomato and or avocado.
