BLT Grilled Cheese
BLT Grilled Cheese sandwiches are the perfect lunch or quick dinner that pleases everyone. Classic grilled cheese topped with a classic bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich made in about 30 minutes.
Sandwiches are always a hit for busy weeknights and we like to serve these epic BLTs with chips, french fries or air fryer tater tots. Side salads like Broccoli Pineapple Salad or Watermelon Salad are also great additions to sandwiches.
We almost always have bacon on hand and it comes in handy for nights that I forget to make a dinner plan, and seriously, who can refuse a BLT? Make it a triple decker sandwich by adding a grilled cheese and literally no one will be able to resist.
