Ronnie's Notes

Here are two recipes for the famous sandwich. First, my Mom’s version, the one I grew up on. It is open-faced and broiled, and she frequently topped the cheese with bacon and tomato. Following that is the more well-known, two-sided, pan-fried classic. Mom’s Grilled Cheese with Tomato and Bacon
