Growing up my mom always made the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever! I didn't realize until I went to a friend's house that my mom made grilled cheese differently then any other mom did. I am not just biased, they were really good! And no matter how much I tried, I never have gotten fully on board with a traditional grilled cheese sandwich. They are ok, but they always leave much to be desired in my opinion. Now that I have children of my own, I make the same kind of grilled cheese sandwich and they love them! They prefer these over regular grilled cheese sandwiches and I love making them for them! I too have ruined my children from enjoying traditional grilled cheese. Oops. My kids call this a Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich but I actually think they are BETTER than pizza! So today I am sharing my secret ingredient so that you can make a Better Than Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich too! Also, I am really excited to partner with Huggies® this year and to share this post as part of that partnership. I promise you are going to love these!
These are really not much harder to make then a normal grilled cheese sandwich. They only take one extra ingredient but are ooey-gooey-delicious and I think once you try them you will love them too! So keep reading to snag the full recipe below.
National Grilled Cheese Day is coming up on April 12, 2016 and this would be the perfect grilled cheese sandwich to make for your family to help celebrate!
I know what you are thinking, I have a 9 year old and a 6 year old, my kids don't wear diapers! But what you may not know, is I have bought wipes for the last 9 years of my life. Even though my children are well out of diapers, I use wipes all the time! They are perfect for cleaning messes, wiping hands and even for cleaning up from many of my DIY projects. Kids grow up, but messes don't go away and Huggies® wipes are the perfect way to clean large and small messes! Not all wipes are created equal, believe me, I know from 9 years of experience! Huggies® Wipes has Triple layers that are gentle on the skin but tough enough to clean up tough messes. You can learn more about Huggies® and Huggies® Wipes HERE.

My mother made these for my brother and I. She used a sandwich maker on the stove. I still make these when I need a comfort meal. They are the best.
