I ask my wife for grilled cheese. If she says yes, then:

She butters both sides of 2 slices of bread
She puts 1 slice of kraft singles between them
She then grills it til both sides are golden brown and cheese is melty
I then consume the sandwich voraciously.

If she says no, then I do it following the same procedure. :)

Exactly the same as Megatomic, but if you can flip the sandwich without a spatula, then heck 1 less dish to wash!

Egads, you know you're supposed to use a full can of water?! I'm pratically choking here thinking about how thick that stuff must be.

It'd be tough to flip the sammich without a spatula when using the electric skillet. The thing is enormous. :D

i like it thicker it coats the bread nicley when I dip it in there.

i usually toss out the reamining tomato soup.

Soup: 1 can, it should be slightly runny.
Dipping sauce: very little water. It should be thick to stick to whatever you dip in it. If it was runny, you'd be wasting your time as nothing would stick.

5. ...
6. PROFIT!

Exactly. And only 1 slice per sandwich or bread to cheese ratio isn't right.

My friend invented this one day:

1. Two slices of good wheat bread
2. Munster cheese
3. Gouda cheese
4. Butter
5. Dijon mustard

Put butter on the outside of the bread and just enough dijon mustard to cover the inside (cover it thinly from crust to crust). Put some Munster and Gouda inside. Gouda is pricey stuff, but it's worth it. You'll probably have to cut a slice off a chunk of Gouda, I've only seen them in wedges. Put it around medium heat and toast one side. Then, flip it over, and put a pot lid on top of the pan. This holds the heat inside, which in turn melts the cheese really nicely. I had a problem where the bread would get toasted nicely but the cheese wouldn't melt very well. Enclosing the sandwich with the lid fixes that problem. Keep an eye on it because it will cook VERY fast with the lid on.

Add some homemade tomatoe soup (I hate the canned stuff) and some Welch's grape juice and you've got it made :)

Bread, butter, cheese in a skillet.

If it takes you longer to make it than it does to eat it you're trying too hard.

If I'm feeling fat, I throw on 2 slices of thin sliced ham, a dabble of barbecue sauce. If I'm feeling not so fat, I just use some oregano and garlic powder.

While also tasty, that's not a grilled cheese sandwich. That's a quesadilla.
