Chili Honey Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
  • 12 slices of bread, I prefer buttermilk or nut
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup bacon grease
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 16 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Procedure
In a medium bowl, mix the butter and bacon grease together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, and honey together until well combined.

To assemble, take two pieces of bread and spread the chili honey sauce on each slice.

On one slice of bread, sprinkle on about 1/3 to ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese (depending on the size of bread). Sandwich together with the remaining slice and spread the bacon butter in an even layer on the top of the sandwich.

Place a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet, bacon butter side down. Spread the bacon butter onto the other side of the sandwich.

Let cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese and melty.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
  • You can substitute sriracha for chili garlic sauce using half the amount intended.
  • Using bacon grease feels like a lot, but it’s worth it, go the extra mile.
