    I think once you add meat, it stops being a grilled cheese and more of a sandwich... I might be alone on this.

    Don't get me wrong I love meat, but once you add bacon and other meats they become the star in that situation.

    I disagree. As long as you have a positive cheese ratio, it still counts.

    So in a standard craft on wonder bread, we need 2 slices of cheese to each strip of bacon?

    White bread, Kraft singles, lots of butter, squished to bloody hell, and with sliced sweet pickles stuffed inside!

    I like to pull the bread apart after it's cooked and spread some peanut butter on it. It's called a Grilled Charlie and it is DELICIOUS.

    I have forgotten what grilled cheese tastes like.....but I have a dim memory of eating it with real old cheddar....none of this processed crap....:)...

    let me remind you remember that last sweet kiss you had, the last time you heard angels singing, the last time the sweet taste of manna touched your parched lips...that is what grilled cheese tastes like.

    Hmm. I would say 4 slices per strip. But I use thick cut bacon.

    Sourdough and cheap Kraft singles (but like 8 of them). Thin sliced deli ham that's been grilled works well in there too.

    That is a Croque Monsieur if you add the ham.

    Okay on that ratio it sounds reasonable I guess.

    Extra mature cheddar, any bread and grilled. Just as nature intended. But sometimes I flirt with the dark side and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Or a thin coating of pesto.

    Damn. I'm now feeling hungry again!

    Oh for the love of criminy, not this again!! :laugh:

    It's called a "grilled cheese sandwich" because it's got cheese and it's grilled. Anything else and it becomes a "whatever and grilled cheese sandwich."

    I like mine with sour dough bread, a sharp cheddar or gouda, and thin tomato slices.

    How about you?

    We aren't going to do this again are we?

    SMDH. We agreed. This is a Grilled tomato and cheese sandwich.

    Grilled cheese = cheese, bread, and butter. (And no. American is not cheese.)

    I gotta agree that once you start adding all the extras it's not really a grilled cheese anymore. A grilled cheese to me requires fat on bread (oil, butter, spray etc) at least one type of cheese, and no more than one add on (bacon, ham, avocado etc).

    no fat = toasted cheese sandwich

    Found it!

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1052336-so-i-have-this-mfp-friend?hl=grilled+cheese+dirtnap&page=7 About 1/3 of the way down. It was settled.
    But. . .but. . .

    When you put tomato on your grilled cheese, you're practically making a pizza! And everyone knows it's physically impossible to eat more than a single bite of pizza as part of a healthy diet.

    Oh, wait. None of the above is actually true.

    Grilled cheese and tomato? Yes, please.
    See its nbot just grilled cheese. It's grilled cheese and tomato! We win.

    That is acceptable. I call it a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. As long as the grilled cheese title is included.

    Tuna melts could still have a positive cheese ratio but they aren't grilled cheese. Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches aren't solely referred to as grilled cheese. So I have to agree with the poster that said once you start adding stuff, it is no longer a grilled cheese.
