I love grilled cheese sandwiches and April is Grilled Cheese Month so I’m sharing with you one of my favorite grilled cheese recipes, California grilled cheese. It’s got all your favorite flavors with smoky bacon, avocado, tomato, and jalapenos. It’s going to become a favorite of your too I promise! 
Everyone, of course, loves a good old grilled cheese with cheddar or American and buttery bread. We love to dip it in cream of tomato soup. Sometimes you really want something more and there are tons of ways to kick up a grilled cheese sandwich and this one is so full of flavor but you can also check out the post I did on over 20 of the best grilled cheese sandwiches.
