Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese w/ Bacon!

This is one of those recipes that you see and think, "Doh! Why didn't I think of that?!" I made them for lunch today and I think it's my husband's new favorite sandwich. They were soo good! I liked that they tasted just like a jalapeno popper without the frying.

I found this recipe on a blog hop and immediately pinned it to my Pinterest board. Have you started pinning? If not, you should definitely check it out. It's so awesome! You set up these virtual pin boards according to your interests: recipes, home, crafts, books, artwork, etc. As you are searching the internet and you find something that you want to try, remember, etc. you 'pin' it to your board on Pinterest so you have all of your favorite things in one location!

The recipe I used came from Mrs. Happy Homemaker. She has a photo tutorial with great pictures to go along with the recipe directions. I did alter my recipe a little. I cut the recipe in half and the quantities are reflected below. I  got four good sized sandwiches. I also added a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce. When I make jalapeno poppers I use it, so I added it to the sammie as well. In the words of Rachel Ray, " It's that thing that makes people go...Hmm...what is that?". It really does add just a little 'something' to it.
