How to Make the Cheesiest Grilled Cheese You’ve Ever Had in 20 Minutes

Cooking is a way to get extremely creative with one of the most amazing things ever: food. Take a grilled cheese for instance — many think it’s just cheddar cheese toasted between two slices of bread. However, a grilled cheese is much more than that. From the type of bread and cheese you use to the additional mix-ins, a simple “cheese sandwich” is easily transformed into a culinary creation. From this exploration of creativity stems the mac and cheese grilled cheese.
