FOOD THERAPY: Taco Grilled Cheese Sandwich
For National Grilled Cheese Day, I’ve partnered with Dempster’s to come up with a grilled cheese sandwich with a twist. We all know that a great sandwich starts with the right bread and Dempster’s has a fantastic product line for all your sandwich recipes. I choose a classic – Dempster’s White Bread to create my new and improved grilled cheese sandwich.
Grab a loaf of Dempster’s White Bread from your pantry and let’s go on a little foodie adventure. It’s a #breadventure!
I’m no stranger to creating fun twists on classic recipes. I do it all the time at home to keep things interesting. Add a little adventure to your family’s meals with this delicious Taco Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Yes, I’m taking everything I love about tacos and combining it into a classic grilled cheese. And you know what? It totally works!
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Use your favourite taco toppings in your sandwich. I used the classic taco ingredients like seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce and of course, a lot of cheddar cheese. Trust me, you won’t miss the taco shell because the grilled buttery bread tastes even better!
Don’t forget the dipping sauces. Dunk your sandwiches in sour cream, guacamole and salsa. I like to do a triple dunk and get all three in each bite. No double dipping as my daughter says!
One little cooking tip that I picked up in my travels is to soften the butter first before you try and spread it. Put it in the microwave for about 5 to 7 seconds before spreading it on the bread. You’ll find it will go on much smoother and easier.
I think it’s an important life skill to learn how to make a proper grilled cheese sandwich so I had my daughter, Bridget, assist me with this recipe. She buttered the bread and helped me stir the ground beef while it cooked. Her favourite part was flipping the grilled cheese in the pan and not letting all the toppings fall out! We had a couple fails at first, but after a few tries she was an old pro! Getting in the kitchen with your kids is an adventure on its own and there is always lots of laughs.

I think we’ll be seeing Taco Grilled Cheese Sandwiches on our menu quite often. My family gobbled them up and asked for more. You could also serve them on “Taco Tuesday” to keep things fresh and new.
