Combining the comfort of classic grilled cheese with the boldness of jalapeño poppers, these Bacon Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese sandwiches are a tasty twist. Pimento cheese melts together with freshly-charred jalapeño peppers and layers of crispy bacon to create a wildly indulgent grilled cheese that comes together easily and disappears in a flash.
