# Ingredients:
→ Bread and Cheese
01 -
4 oz of Velveeta or Provolone, sliced
02 -
6 oz of sharp cheddar, sliced up
03 -
8 pieces of Texas toast or thick brioche
04 -
4 oz of sliced Monterey Jack cheese

A quarter cup of store-bought or homemade ranch dressing

8 strips of crispy bacon
→ Optional Add-Ons

Caramelized onions to boost the flavor
09 -
Sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick
# Steps:
01 -
Set the cheeses out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before starting.
02 -
Pop your bacon in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until it’s nice and crispy. Put it aside when done.
03 -
Heat up a griddle or your biggest skillet on medium-low heat.
04 -
Generously coat one side of every bread slice with butter.
05 -
Lay bread butter-side down in the already heated skillet. Place layers of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone on half of the slices. Add 2 bacon strips on top of the cheese for each sandwich. Pour a little ranch dressing over the bacon and cheese stack. Finally, pop another bread slice on top, making sure the buttered side faces up.
06 -
Cook sandwiches about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip when golden and toasty, then repeat on the other side until cheese melts fully.
07 -
Take sandwiches off the heat. Let them rest for about a minute, then slice diagonally. Serve right away while the cheese is gooey and warm.
