Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese: Gooey cheese, smokey bacon, and spicy jalapenos sandwiched between 2 slices of extra crispy Texas toast.

According to those around me I’m a Weirdo with a capital W. It’s not because I insist on talking to my dog, or even because I think cupcakes should be a food group.

It’s because I LOVE the cold weather. This past week we’ve been experiencing chillier weather here in PA. Chillier weather makes me crave classic comfort food. What could be more comforting than a grilled cheese?

Growing up mine were made with Kraft American, however this bacon jalapeno popper grilled cheese is a bit “fancier”. This bacon jalapeno popper grilled cheese would be perfect for watching the big game too (Go Cowboys!!).

Love bacon and jalapenos? You’ve gotta try my jalapeno popper mac and cheese.

Instructions

Preheat your broiler. Place Jalapenos on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly charred.
No broiler? No problem! Roast over a gas stove flame using tongs, or grill!
Place jalapenos in a sealed container for 15-20 minutes. Then remove and peel off the skin. Remove seeds if desired.
In a small bowl mix cream cheese and shredded cheese. Then spread mixture the inside of 4 of the bread slices.
Top with bacon, jalapenos, and the top slice of bread.
Spread both sides of the sandwich with butter. Cook in skillet until golden brown.
