Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwiches are epic! This is the best grilled cheese sandwich recipe I’ve ever made.
This is an amazing grilled cheese sandwich recipe. Seriously. It’s a melt in your mouth, roll your eyes back and say mmm…cheese kind of good. Pepperoni. Mozzarella and sauteed bell peppers, onions and mushrooms all sandwiched between golden garlic toast. It doesn’t get much better. Trust me, I wouldn’t steer you wrong. Especially when it comes to grilled cheese.
Grilled cheese is one of the ultimate comfort foods. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of the most comforting meals I can think of. You see, I always dip my grilled cheese in tomato soup. To me it is not a grilled cheese without the bowl of steaming tomato soup sitting next to it. And because that is the case, even though I call this a pepperoni pizza grilled cheese, I thought that adding a tomato sauce to this sandwich would just be too much so I left it off. Instead, with this sandwich you get buttery bread, melted cheese, meaty pepperoni and sauteed veggies. Take that, dip it in some hot tomato soup and you have one heck of a comfort food meal.
I hope you and the kids in your life love the pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwiches!

December 11, 2012 at 5:21 pmThat looks decadent! I’ve tried a few vegan mac n cehsee recipes, but even the Daiya + plain almond milk recipe that several people swore was identical to the real thing really wasn’t. I don’t make mac n cehsee often, but my favorite recipe uses caramelized onions, swiss, parm, and a little gorgonzola. Just a bit of the gorgonzola adds a nice depth to the flavor (and I don’t usually like blue cehsee, either).

November 7, 2012 at 7:36 amToasted cheese sandwiches with or without the tomato soup are indeed an American classic. If I were to make one today I’d have to do so with a tortilla, the only bread I have at the moment. I can change that if I don’t loaf LOL.
