Notes
I sometimes add some 2 tbsp chipotle in adobo for a sweet smoky kick. If you do this don't include the garlic salt.
A slice of tomato is a good addition but not if you are serving with tomato soup.
This recipe will make more or less sandwiches depending upon the size of your bread and how much you put on.
The sharper the cheddar, the more flavor, but less melty. I love extra sharp cheddar and don't mind if it isn't a cohesive melted cheese.
