Since I asked a random question!


soo.. for a VERY VERY important topic.

How do you like your grilled cheese (if you like it) And do you dip it in ketchup? Are you totally OCD and need to cut it a certain way? Certain bread and certain cheese etc?
 
Why in the world would you eat it with ketchup? Is that a thing? :blink:

I like cheddar cheese on sourdough bread cut diagonally...but since I no longer eat cheese I now just admire it from afar. It is delicious though. :D
 
It is such a common thing to have grilled cheese and ketchup.. I don't think its a weird canadian thing? haha
 
Ketchup!??? eewwww ick I don't eat white bread unless it's sourdough. I like a good grilled cheese every now and again. Green chiles and pepper jack. Brie and Black Forest ham on rye. DD does hers in the toaster oven and I'm like NO. It has to be in a pan.
 
I eat mine with tomato soup sometimes - I think that's pretty common. But, catsup? That sounds weird to me. It probably shouldn't, they're both tomato-based. But it does. Go figure.
 
LOL KCB, I think it's def a weird Canadian thing. ;) I've never heard of that!

My fave grilled cheese would honestly be Sonic's grilled cheese. But I do appreciate a good sourdough and cheddar.
 
We do grilled cheese with tomato soup usually :) I like to make a fancy grilled cheese with a little cream cheese, cheddar, and jalapenos. Or I make a caprese grilled cheese, mozza, tomatoes, and basil/pesto.
 
Oh I forgot about my actual favorite (I'm blocking it from my memory while I'm on this diet. LOL) I looooooooooooooooooooooooooove the tomato & mozzarella panini from Panera. Holy hannah. Now I want it.
 
Um, grilled cheese with ketchup sounds gross to me. It's like when people eat their eggs with ketchup... can't do that either. I'm boring... my usual is good ole' American cheese on whole wheat. Definitely cooked in a pan. Sometimes with tomatoes. (Which, yeah... are in ketchup.) Hahaha!
 
ours is plain old white cheese with American sliced....it is a huge hit with EVERYONE at my house...but my son refuses to eat it without his tomato soup!!!
 
Ewwwww ketchup!?!? My bestie's brother puts ketchup on his mac & cheese. Ewwwww to that too!

Now, to the important question. I'm not picky about my grilled cheese. Like at all. I love cheese. I love bread. I love butter. Sadly I haven't had one for a very long time since it doesn't go well on my "healthy eating" promise to myself.
 
I don't eat them much anymore but if I were to splurge and have one it would be on a nice whole wheat bread with a slice of tomato - American cheese is fine or Muenster. It has to be grilled quite dark (just short of burned) and cut once diagonally.

I grew up with a lot of people who dipped it in ketchup, which I always thought was pretty gross. DH dipped in tomato soup. But I can't say anything because I grew up and still dip mine in homemade applesauce (has to be homemade!) :D
 
Good ole american cheese and two slices of bread...buttered on the outside and cooked until they are toasted perfectly.....cut diagonally please.

I've never heard of applesauce with grilled cheese! I might have to try that :)

I'm sure you haven't! LOL - my sister and I started doing it when we were little. I have no idea what prompted us to try it except that my mom always had homemade applesauce in the fridge.
 
Kristin...you are not crazy! Ketchup is a must with grilled cheese!!! And I am in Nebraska -- so it's not a Canadian thing. lol. But...I don't eat them now 'cause I am on a no dairy diet (I'm nursing) and soy cheese just isn't happening! It is expensive AND gross! So...for now I just admire the grilled cheese from afar. But I had to chime in because I couldn't believe no one else eats their grilled cheese like we do!!! ;)

Add me to the list that has never heard of grilled cheese with ketchup. Admittedly, I'm sure it's not much different than dipping it in tomato soup, which is pretty common (at least in my area).

I like my grilled cheese with cheddar. I'm not opposed to using other cheeses, but I don't like american cheese, so that would be the exception. I typically cut them diagonally and use sourdough, but I will eat them with other breads too and I'm not picky about how they are cut (it's just nice to dip the corner in the soup when it's cut diagonally :p)
 
We do our on wheat bread with yellow american and mozzarella cheeses and bacon with a side of tomato soup. Yummy comfort food! :)
 
OK, I have to ask, DIP IT IN KETCHUP?!?! That's gotta be a Canadian thing, right? lol (ETA, guess I am not the only one to wonder about that.)

I am very picky on how I eat it. I like it on wheat with a tomato in it. Any cheese is ok though.

Oh, I want Jenn it make me grilled cheese. Those sound awesome, now I want them. :thumbup:
 
My son would be all over the ketchup with his sandwich, that kid would put ketchup or ranch dressing on any and everything!!

good ol' kraft american on whole wheat... I don't do white bread. ;) In college, I always got it with tomato and on sourdough... and if doing with soup, tomato soup is a must - but then I want to eat like 2 or 3 sandwiches just because i can't stand straight tomato soup. hahaha
 
My boys both love to dip their grilled cheese in ketchup. I think it's a California kids thing, because most kids I know, do it. Yuck, if you ask me. I love cheddar on squaw bread with lots of butter on the bread.
 
All you people who like it with tomato soup should try it with ketchup! :) I don't always have it with ketchup but usually.. it really is good!! :)
 
*sigh* I sorta hate this thread, KCB. LOL I keep coming back to it.

(adding grilled cheese sandwich to my list of post-contest indulgences)
 
My husband prefers white American cheese from the deli (sliced from the big blocks, it is harder than the pre-packaged slices) on whole wheat with tomato. My kids prefer sliced yellow American cheese (Kraft or Bordens) on whole wheat. I really like mine on Texas Toast but don't do that often because we don't eat white bread. My kids and DH like theirs with macaroni and cheese (Kraft). If you ask me, that's too much cheese at once. I prefer mine with chicken noodle soup. :)

It's not a grilled cheese exactly, but I am sooooo craving a Reuben sandwich and can't wait until St. Patty's day to make it. :) It's almost grilled cheese. :)
 
Sourdough bread, just a little bit of butter in the pan so the bread doesnt get soggy or too greasy, kraft singles with Ketchup and I'm originally a cali-girl, so it's not a canadian thing.

I also love sourdough, swiss and avocado! No ketchup on that one tho.
 
Wheat bread, American cheese (it gets so melty & gooey!!, toasted in a pan with a side of Cambell's Creamy Tomato Soup (has to be made with milk or it's not right)

Occasionally black forest ham & swiss or cheddar, sourdough bread.
