Experience a symphony of savory, sweet, and satisfying flavors with this ultimate Beef Bacon and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices high-quality bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 8 slices beef bacon
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 slices cheese (such as cheddar or Gruyère)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for grilling)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 45-75 minutes until onions are deeply browned and jammy. Set aside.
  2. Place 8 slices beef bacon in a cold skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, flipping, until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble or chop. Reserve 1 tbsp bacon fat if desired for grilling sandwiches.
  3. Lightly butter one side of each bread slice (this will be the outside). On the unbuttered side of four bread slices, layer 2 slices of cheese, a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, crumbled beef bacon, and then 2 more slices of cheese. Top with the remaining four bread slices, buttered-side out. Gently press.
  4. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp softened butter (or reserved bacon fat) to the pan. Place 2 sandwiches in the pan. Grill for 4-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese is fully melted and gooey. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
  5. Remove sandwiches from pan, let rest 1-2 minutes on a cutting board. Slice diagonally and serve immediately. Pairs wonderfully with tomato soup or a light salad.

Notes

  • Use high-quality bread for the best results.
  • Adjust the amount of cheese according to your preference.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like pickles or herbs.
