Sweet & Spicy Cowboy Grilled Cheese 🧀🔥

A fun and easy recipe that kids will love! This Sweet & Spicy Cowboy Grilled Cheese takes a classic favorite and gives it a Rollicking Buckaroo twist with a touch of sweet heat. The gooey cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet & spicy kick from Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam, making it a flavor-packed snack or lunch that’s sure to be a hit!

🌟 Ingredients

2 slices of thick-cut bread (like sourdough or Texas toast)

1 tablespoon butter (softened)

2 slices cheddar cheese

1 slice mozzarella or provolone cheese

1 tablespoon Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam (Extra Hot or Medium, depending on spice preference)

Optional: 2 slices of crispy bacon for an extra crunch

👩‍🍳 Directions

Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice. This will make it golden and crispy when grilled!

On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a thin layer of Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam.

Layer the cheese on top of the jam—cheddar first, then mozzarella/provolone, then the second slice of cheddar. (Add bacon here if using.)

Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.

Grill on medium heat in a pan for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then cut into fun shapes or triangles.

Serve & enjoy! (Bonus: Pair with a side of ranch or tomato soup for dipping.)
