Well, hey there stranger. Remember me? I know some of you do, because I’m still receiving comments on older posts (hello Italian Anise Bundt Cake) and visitor traffic to the site. I’ve been super crazy with family, sports schedules, and Supply Chain day job. Life is going great, but I’ve been missing you all. Yes, missing you…the readers that have been with me since the Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza Pull Apart Bread craze of 2012. Wow! That’s such a long time, and I’m SO HAPPY to still have so many of you stopping by for recipes. This Double Cheese and Pepperoni Grilled Cheese was previously published on a site that’s sadly, no longer active. I wanted to share the actual recipe (more like instructions, if I’m being honest), so it wasn’t lost. Forgive the photo. I was just getting started with this whole food blog thing.
Most people know how to make a basic grilled cheese, but this sandwich takes the regular grilled cheese to another level. I used a combination of mozzarella and provolone to create a great melt. Who doesn’t love a super gooey grilled cheese. Both cheeses blend perfectly with the zesty pepperoni inside the toasted bread.
Technically, it’s a three cheese grilled cheese from the addition of the grated parmesan making the bread all golden brown and toasty on the outside, but whose counting. Add a side of spaghetti sauce for dipping, and you are all set. Your kids will think you are a genius!
Revisiting the past has it’s benefits. Remembering a sarcastic and humour filled human that was loved by so many, seeing how far I’ve traveled with this site, and Friday night dinner menu all at once. I’m going to do my best to start giving you more of what you love…easy and delicious recipes. I’m even bringing my niece on board as a contributor to help out to keep content current. Exciting things are happening in the kitchen, and I’ll be sharing more details soon enough. So stay tuned!

I’m always looking for a new spin on grilled cheese. This looks so savory and delicious!
Wow, this recipe is a game changer! My family will love it!
Two of my favorite things, grilled cheese and pizza. Hadn’t thought to put them together. Love the dipping sauce as a side…genius. I already have all the ingredients too (turkey pepperoni though, don’t like all the grease in the real stuff), I’m making this tomorrow, I already know it’s going to be a regular meal in my house.
This looks super yummy. My grandsons would love this.
