    This is a dangerously delicious sandwich!

    Iโ€™ve shared a few of my favorite bacon recipes recently and this sandwich is no exception. It is crunchy, melty, cheesy, with a hint of sweetness.

    Absolutely delicious!

    If you have bacon in your fridge or freeze here's how to tell if it's still good to eat!

    Apples and bacon are such a great combo!

    Check out my favorite bacon recipes:

    • Apple Bacon Pancakes
    • Candied Bacon
    • Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese

    This recipe is a little extra special because it uses Good Rancherโ€™s Pumpkin Spice Bacon. This bacon is so flavorful and delicious and it the perfect addition to this sandwich.

    What you need for this recipe?

    Bacon- If you can get your hands on some Pumpkin Spice Good Ranchers then donโ€™t hesitate!

    Bread- I love a good sourdough slice.

    Butter

    Brie- A sharp cheddar cheese would also be very good on this!

    Apple- I like using a Gala for its sweetness but go with a Green if you want it a bit tart.

    Onion- I like to use a white or yellow.

    Good Ranchers

    Iโ€™ve worked with Good Ranchers for a while now and was so excited when they sent me this new bacon to try! From steak, chicken, shrimp, and even pork- their meat is top quality.

    Now, with their fun new Fall bacon flavor, I am so excited to share this recipe (and the bacon wrapped dates and apple pancakes!) with you guys!

    This sandwich is gooey and delicious!

    Brie cheese is such a great combo in this sandwich. Itโ€™s definitely a go-to for when I need a tasty cheese and it pairs well with the apples.

    If you have extra brie, try using it in these hot turkey sandwiches or this baked brie and honey recipe!

    Pro Tip: Build your sandwich so the cheese is on the bottom when it is first heating up, that way it will get soft and help everything stick together when you flip it!

    Bacon Grilled Cheese Variations

    • Cheese- Try a sharp cheddar or smoked gouda.
    • Fruit- Firm pears would be delicious.
    • Sweetness- Instead of fruit try jam or honey!
    • Heat- Add some candied jalapenos!
    • Garnish- Sprinkle with green onion or fresh herbs.
    • Meat- Add thinly sliced steak, prosciutto, or salami!

    Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 20 minutes minutes
    Course: Main Course
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 10 oz Bacon* Cooked; I used Good Ranchers Pumpkin Spice Bacon
    • ยฝ yellow onion thinly sliced and sautรฉed
    • 8 slices bread- I like to use sourdough
    • 4 tbs Butter softened to room temperature
    • 8-12 slices of brie
    • 1 apple thinly sliced, I use da Gala

    Instructions

    • Cook bacon in a fry pan until cooked to your desired level of crispiness.
      10 oz Bacon*
      cooked bacon on plate
    • In bacon grease, or in a clean fry pan with 1 tbs butter, add sliced onions and cook on medium low heat for 5-10 minutes until soft and partially cooked.
      ยฝ yellow onion
    • Butter one side of each piece of bread. Place half of the bread butter-side down in a large skillet.
      8 slices bread- I like to use sourdough, 4 tbs Butter
      bread on fry pan, butter side down
    • Lay 2-3 pieces of brie down, 4-6 thinly sliced pieces of apple, 2 halved pieces of cooked bacon, and some sautรฉed onions on each piece of bread. Then top with another slice of buttered bread, butter side up to complete the sandwich.
      8-12 slices of brie, 1 apple
      sauteed onions added on top of bacon
    • Heat pan with sandwich over medium-low heat. After 5-7 minutes, the bottom piece of bread should be browned, flip the sandwich to brown the other side. The second side will take less time, 2-5 minutes, since the pan will be hot.

    • Once both sides are browned, remove from pan and grill remaining sandwiches. These will take less time to brown since the pan is already hot, so keep an eye on them so they donโ€™t burn.
