Ingredients

  • 10 Slices Sandwich bread
  • 1 ½ Cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese *I used a mixed package
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (Melted)

Ketchup Sauce

  • ½ Cup Ketchup
  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise
  • ¾ Tsp. Onion Powder
  • ½ Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Tsp. Salt *If using unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Mix your ketchup aioli and set aside.
  • Lay your bread slices out onto your counter and add a spoonful of sauce to EACH side.
  • Sprinkle about ⅓ cup of cheese evenly on one side of each sandwich and close them up.
  • Brush melted butter onto each side of your sandwiches making sure to get the edges.
  • Bake at 374 F on the BOTTOM rack for 6 minutes or until browned. Flip sandwiches and bake another 3 minutes or so. Take out and let cool before cutting. (TIP* If you do not want your cheese to ooze out and get messy when cutting, let your grilled cheese cool completely. Then reheat all the sticks in the oven for a minute or two right before serving.) Trimming crusts is optional but makes for a better presentation.
  • Serve with warm tomato soup on the side or in plastic shooters for dipping!

Notes

What I do for a party is make these a few hours ahead of time. Then I will allow them to cool COMPLETELY before I cut them so the cheese does not ooze out. Then I reheat my sticks in the oven for a few minutes and serve right away!
You can use any tomato soup you like! I used a can of creamy tomato I found in the store. Just warm your soup up on the stove, transfer it to a measuring cup WITH A SPOUT and pour when guests arrive! The spout allows for clean pouring!
