Ingredients

Jalapeno Poppers
  • 4 Jalapenos, sliced in half and seeded
  • 4-6 oz Cream cheese
  • 8 slices Bacon
Grilled Cheese
  • 8 slices Bread
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 8 slices Adams Farmstand Fresh Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1–1 1/3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat your grill to 375°F.
  2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil the width of your grill. Fold it in half lengthwise and set it aside.
  3. Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese. Wrap a slice of bacon around each stuffed jalapeño and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Place the folded foil on the grill under the top rack to catch any bacon drippings and prevent flare-ups. Arrange the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on the top rack.
  5. Close the grill lid and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked. Remove the jalapeño poppers from the grill and let them cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Butter one side of each bread slice. Lay the slices butter-side down on a cutting board.
  7. Place 2 slices of cheddar on 4 slices of bread. Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese (about 1/4- 1/3 cup per sandwich) on the remaining 4 slices.
  8. Remove the toothpicks from the jalapeño poppers and slice each into 5-6 pieces.
  9. Evenly distribute the sliced jalapeño poppers onto the mozzarella-covered slices. Top each with a cheddar-covered slice to create 4 sandwiches.
  10. Heat a cast-iron skillet on the grill or use a griddle. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.
