The best throwback meal that never gets old... in fact it just got a little better.

I'm sharing a delicious secret ingredient for a perfect grilled cheese sandwich that makes for a delicious quick bite.

Here is another twist with this yummy cherry pepper grilled cheese here, too.

One of my favorite memories from childhood involved grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.

Whenever I visited my Aunt, she would make us this glorious combo.

That's exactly why this is the best comfort food with a side of nostalgia for me.

There's almost no day that I couldn't throw a grilled cheese or two back.

You know what I mean?

Even after all these years, I can still go for one of these yummy sandwiches at almost any point in a day.

Now, I have to admit that making a grilled cheese should be fairly easy right?

But, I actually kind of stink at it.

At least until now.

This yummy little miracle performs in a way I never imagined.

You could say it's genius or a super hack.

Who knew that swapping out butter for Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise or any high quality mayo would make the process not only fool-proof but completely awesome.

That's right!

We're putting mayo on the bread and into your pan mayo-side down.

Sounds crazy, but I promise it's worth it.

In just 5 minutes, your sandwich is going to be toasted to perfection and the cheese will be perfectly melted.

Some know this as an old school trick, but so many have not heard of this... including me.

So, I hope this fun grilled cheese hack finds the ones...

The ones that don't know this cheesy crispy magic trick.

Just look at this crazy goodness. I'm practically drooling as we speak.

Updating in 2022 to say that sprinkling a little sea salt over the mayo before or after grilling is the a delicious tweak to this method of preparing grilled cheese.

The beauty of the basic grilled cheese sandwich is that you can add different ingredients for something new.

Pesto and sun dried tomatoes anyone? A new melting cheese that you haven't tried before?

Oh no, now I have a new craving. {Runs to the kitchen}.

For a buttery flavor, you can butter the insides of your bread for a special added touch.

Bonus, you can also make the perfect grilled cheese in an air fryer. YUM.
