How To Make 10 (Or More) Grilled Cheese Sandwiches At Once

Put down the skillet, and open your mind.

Everyone knows that grilled cheese sandwiches are created in a skillet -- with lots of butter and lots of love. But when you've got more than a couple people to feed, and if you all want to eat together, making grilled cheese the traditional way gets to be a little tricky (read: impossible). That's when you've got to think outside the skillet and start entertaining new possibilities, like the oven.

When you need to make more than just a couple grilled cheese sandwiches, you bake them -- like a cupcake, in the oven. It works like magic, promise. Here's how it's done:

  • Preheat the oven with two baking sheets inside. Heating the baking sheets is like heating the skillet, it'll make sure that the outside of the sandwich is nicely browned.

  • Prepare your grilled cheese sandwiches as you normally would -- or use one of the recipes below.

  • Place the grilled cheese sandwiches on one baking sheet, carefully top with the other baking sheet and return them to the oven for a couple of minutes.

  • Ta-Da. Multiple grilled cheeses done all at once.

    • Cooks Country came up with this genius idea, but we found it on Life Hacker. Either way, you should try it next time you're having guests over for a meal. It's an awesome excuse to make grilled cheeses.
