welcome back everybody and if you are
new here welcome to my channel I like to
post videos weekly today I'm going to
make a grilled cheese sandwich as I knew
it growing up and to start I'm using two
slices of processed American cheese now
before you go in on me in the comment
section you have to admit you know this
grilled cheese you grew up with it but
anyways I'm also going to be using
sliced white bread again nothing fancy
here you definitely can use the type of
bread of your choice but I'm just trying
to show you what I grew up with and this
is very basic so I'm also going to be
using butter now if I'm going to be
completely honest with you guys growing
up we had a big tub of margarine that we
used and that is exactly what we used on
grilled cheese so this is your basic
grilled cheese starter kit so before I
cook them I like to preheat the pan I'm
going to make them in and I am using a
cast-iron skillet and I'm going to
preheat it on a medium to medium low
heat and nothing on high one thing I
have learned about grilled cheese is
that it doesn't matter how fast you want
to make it you've got to give it time so
that it gets a chance to get that golden
brown exterior if you rush this process
it will burn so first things first I am
going to butter one side of each slice
of bread and if you are using something
with a rounded top just make sure you
butter the correct side so when you
close it it aligns and you know what and
if you don't do that it's not going to
ruin the sandwich I'm just giving you a
tip so I'm going to butter it all the
way to the edges even if it kind of goes
over the edges that is going to toast as
well and give you extra crunch and
toastiness so now I'm going to put that
right in my previous cast-iron skillet
and both slices fit comfortably in this
pan so I'm just going to put them both
down then I'm going to add my cheese
now that my cheese is added I am going
to close the sandwich and now I'm just
going to carefully bring it to a
golden-brown
toasty exterior and again do not be in a
hurry you want to make sure you take
your time to achieve that golden-brown
toasty exterior and if you get impatient
and turn the heat on high just know that
you will probably burn it before the
cheese gets to melt now another thing I
do remember some family members would do
when they would make grilled cheese is
that they would press it down and smash
the bread so if you are one of those
that enjoys that go for it
mash away so my grilled cheese looks
exactly where I want it to be it is the
color and the texture of golden brown
and crunchy so now it's time to eat now
you can let it cool or you can go beast
mode and dive right in
say what you will about this grilled
cheese but I like it so right now I'm
going to up the ante on my grilled
cheese game and give you another
variation I'm going to use two slices of
sourdough bread again I'm going to
butter each piece of bread I have a
preheated cast-iron skillet and I'm
definitely going to put my one bread
slice down I think too might not fit so
I'm just going to start with one and
give that a head start and just a
reminder I'm still working with a medium
to medium low heat in a preheated pan in
my opinion that's probably your best bet
for making grilled cheese
now the cheeses I'm going to use are
Vermont sharp cheddar cheese and a
smoked gouda cheese if you want to shred
it that's probably better I just had
thick slices of deli cheese so I just
kind of ripped them apart and
distributed them evenly now I'm going to
add some pickled jalapenos for some
spice and briny Tang I think all these
flavors complement each other and it's
just another variation of grilled cheese
now I have to ask how do you like your
grilled cheese sandwich leave comments
below on your favorite combination of
cheeses breads or condiments that you
like to add to your grilled cheese
now that this grilled cheese is done I'm
ready to try a bite so I hope you guys

grilled cheese recipe but I thought you
might find it helpful to see just a
basic one I hope you guys give this
recipe a try
