Sweet Grilled Cheese

Ok, I have to admit that I showed this recipe to my husband so we could make fun of it. Little did I know he'd be intrigued! He made it for lunch today and really enjoyed it. I tasted it, and it wasn't bad although I did stick with a plain ol' grilled cheese for me. Only change he made was to use a medium sharp cheddar instead of american cheese. Thanks for the recipe, and sorry I doubted you!

I just had to make this as soon as I read it because it sounded so interesting and it's easy to make. I was pleasantly surprised! I accidentally burned it and it still tasted good!

I liked this recipe. I guess I must have a well developed sweet tooth, because I almost wanted to put more brown sugar on this sandwich! The brown sugar melts into a yummy syrup in between the cheese slices. I'll probably make this again :)

It definitely was different than a regular grilled cheese. The sweetness was a little strong so I would suggest to others to put less brown sugar than the recipe calls for. Otherwise I really liked this and will use again.

I had one of these sweet grilled cheeses 35 years ago at a friends house for lunch one day and loved it. I still eat them this way once in awhile. Worth trying people!

This was good but I only used half of the brown sugar that the recipe called for, muenster and cheddar cheeses, with medium salsa as a dipping sauce for the sandwich so I'd have sweet and spicy.

Not bad, I think as a previous poster wrote, I would have liked it with a cheddar cheese and maybe even some apple sliced paper thin on a nice sourdough bread. It will be something I will experiment with, I think my kids will enjoy it after they get over the shock that mommy is letting them have sugar for lunch.

I was intrigued by this recipe. I thought that I would make it for my son and myself for lunch. It wasn't bad, at all. Just very different. I made one with American cheese and one with cheddar. I think I liked the chddar better. My 3 yr old ate the american and said "I don't like sugar in my grilled cheese." I don't think I'll be making this again. Sorry.

I discovered many years ago (quite by accident) that cheese and sugar can work well together, but I'd never have thought of making it into a sandwich. It's a good change of pace from the normal stuff, and you can use dark or light brown sugar.

This recipe was really (REALLY) sweet. I wouldn't make it again, but it tasted o.k.

Enjoying the Sweet Grilled Cheese Sandwich as I type this review and it tastes really good. Tastes lots better than the plain everyday Grilled Cheese.

I just had this sandwich. In a million years I would've never thought to put brown sugar on my grilled cheese. This was really good! It tasted like a grilled cheese but with a nice hint of sweet to it. I measured out the 2 tsp of brown sugar. I thought 1 would be enough, but I really think the 2 are better. Clean up was a breeze, too! Thanks Teresa L!

When I was a kid, my family would always serve sliced cheddar with our pancakes, and the similar sweet-salty combination in this recipe made me run to the kitchen and make it right away. Wow! I would never have thought these two ingredients would go together, but it was so delicious. I used whole wheat bread and cheddar cheese. I will definitely make this again.

Worth a try, but a little too sweet for us. Thanks for the recipe though.

This was not a hit with us. It was just really weird. Thanks anyway.

Hmmm. What can I say? These were okay, but not fantastic. They tasted fine and I could have gotten by with using only 1 slice of cheese. The brown sugar tended to drip a little as it was runny when hot. Not bad, but not memorable either. I probably won't make it again, but it really tasted just fine, just not my thing. Thanks, it was fun to try something new as I would never have thought of this on my own.

I have a real sweet tooth and I loved this sandwich! I think its a nice change from the plain old cheese sandwich but Next time I'll add even more brown sugar! Yummy

I'm enjoying this sandwich now! My hubby and I have these once a week, and I usually just make mine a plain ol grilled cheese, and his gets ham and sliced jalapenos. I wanted to try something different, so I served these tonight! and let me say...I find them to be sooo good! Just the right amount of sweetness. Having said that, I did not measure the brown sugar...just eyeballed it. I served with what I like to call "Poor man's spaghetti": which is cooked noodles (I used whole wheat penne), and pour in ketchup, chili sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste...serve warm. A quick, easy supper! Thanks alot!

Interesting! :) I like it! :) hehe

ive done this before. my husband made fun of me for thinking of it then loved it :)

This was so good. The brown sugar melts and sets off the saltyness of the cheese so well. Definitely going to try this again and pass it on to my family!

I thought this sandwich was just ok. It was a little sweet for my taste (and I've got a sweet tooth), so if I do make it again, I will cut down on the amount of brown sugar.

A strange combination to think about however the kids LOVED it! I used colby/jack cheese with multi-grain bread and it really was good! We will be making this again, maybe not ever time we have grilled cheese but whenever we want that extra sweetness.

Had two of them today! Really nice and different!

haven't made this yet but I've made a similar with a drizzle of honey between the bread and cheese (optional- a sprinkle of powdered sugar) and omg deliccchhhh

9.14.21 I made this yesterday with brown sugar, and we found it too sweet (personal taste). I made it again today using cheddar cheese and about 2 tablespoons of Tabasco Pepper Jelly. Now there’s a flavor combo that works for us. You get an equal balance of sweet and spicy, and we preferred the cheddar over the milder American cheese. My rating is based on the pepper jelly combo used today.

This was super interesting, yet subtly familiar at the same time. We didn’t have American, so I used sharp cheddar instead and “Dave’s Better Than White Bread. I happily kept shoveling it in, whilst mopping the brown sugar drippings with the remaining bites. Glad I went for a run this morning…Thanks for the recipe!

This is interesting in a good way! I used American, but I think it would be better with cheddar. I only used a little more than 1 tsp brown sugar, and that was plenty. When I cut the sandwich, the hot sugar oozed out. I ended up adding bacon, and that made it wonderful! I used whole wheat bread, because that's what we prefer.

I read through the reviews and it was a solid 4 “I liked it”. That said, I used a granulated brown sugar (pourable) so it was not going to give me the syrupy texture another reviewer mentioned, but it was still think. I think the cheese needs to be changed to a sharp cheddar to balance the sweetness.
