Grilled cheese has been a crowd favorite since the Great Depression.
Can you blame them though?
It was simple, affordable, and just plain good.

Fast forward to now, and we’re taking it to another level with this peaches and cream grilled cheese—sweet, salty, crispy, gooey.
Inspired by that backseat banger by 112 (iykyk), this sandwich is bold, buttery, and straight-up irresistible. I’m a fiend.

What’s your ultimate grilled cheese combo?

Love spicy comfort food and melty cheese? Smash that like and subscribe for more recipes that actually slap.

National Grilled Cheese Day is April 12th—and this spicy, melty mashup is exactly how you should be celebrating.
Inspired by the legendary $1.50 pimento cheese sandwich at the Masters golf tournament, this version dials it all the way up.

We’re talking:
– A ridiculous amount of cheese
– Smoky bacon
– Pickles jalapeño relish bringing the heat
– And Dukes Mayo (because there is no other mayo in this conversation)

This is the ultimate crossover between a Southern classic and your favorite spicy bar snack: the jalapeño popper. Griddled until golden and gooey, it’s spicy, rich, and just unhinged enough to be completely worth it.

Let’s be honest—this version isn’t $1.50, but it is priceless.

Jalepeno Popper Pimento Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:
8 oz (about 2 cups) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Dukes Mayo
4 oz jarred pimentos, drained
1/4 cup Pickled jalapeño relish (adjust based on your heat preference)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup crispy bacon (chopped) (optional)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Recipe:
1. In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until well combined and smooth.
2. To the mixture, add the chopped pimentos, diced fresh jalapeños, minced garlic, and onion powder. If you’re using smoked paprika for that smoky depth, add it now as well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Mix all the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined. If the mixture seems too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a little more mayonnaise.
4. Fold in the bacon, if using.
5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve your Jalapeño Popper Pimento Cheese with crackers Or absolutely make a grilled cheese with it😮

Bonus:
Add 2 think pieces of bread, Baccon, and a handful of cheddar cheese, and turn it into a grilled cheese.

Now you could sit in a long double barrel drive-thru, pay way too much for a tiny chicken sandwich, and get exactly two pickles, … or you could make this absolute beast at home.

We’re talking flaky, buttery buttermilk biscuits (homemade or dough boy), crispy fried chicken thighs (because thighs are always better than breasts, obviously), a perfectly runny egg, and a proper handful of pickles—not that weak excuse of a garnish they give you.

Oh, and the best part? No sad Sunday disappointment when you forget they’re closed, and you have to nurse that headache at the “Golden Arches” or with the “King” himself.

Hit that like button, subscribe for more cooking tips, and let me know in the comments: Are you team 145°F or still holding onto the past?

For years, we were told pork had to be cooked to 165°F or it wasn’t safe. But here’s the truth: 145°F is the magic number. It’s USDA-approved, keeps your pork juicy, and thanks to carryover cooking, it’ll still hit 150-155°F while resting. So unless you like eating dry, flavorless pork, it’s time to update your cooking game.

Still skeptical? Try it once and tell me it’s not a million times better. Or keep cooking it to 165°F and enjoy chewing for hours—your call.
