BBQ Carmelized Onion Grilled Cheese

Cheese, bread, and butter make up a serious majority of my food love language. That being said, I have never been a big fan of grilled cheese. I also used to never like onions. I am learning to like them and discovered a while back that I am actually absolutely obsessed with caramelized onions. Enter in this BBQ Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese. I was doing the dangerous task of browsing Pinterest one day around 11am when the lunch time hunger starts hitting and saw this incredible picture. (Courtesy of Ring Finger Tan Line blog, mine get devoured before I can even think about a picture!)

And then I was really hungry. So I checked out the recipe and decided I had to re-create it with the ingredients I had on hand. IT WAS AMAZING. I wasn't sure about the BBQ sauce but seriously y'all...it works. This sandwich has changed my life. For those days when there isn't any yummy leftovers for lunch or evenings where I don't plan dinner, these are our go to meal. A recipe this delicious and easy that uses ingredients I always have on hand is a dream come true. The kids even love them too! So here ya go.

Ingredients (Serves 2)
4 slices of your choice of bread (We have used French, Challa, and regular old Sara Lee wheat bread. It's all good.)
2 slices of cheddar cheese
2 slices of pepper jack, muenster, or Swiss cheese. Or seriously...whatever you want!
1/2 of a small purple or sweet yellow onion, chopped
2 tbsp. BBQ sauce
Butter (2 tbsp.-ish)

Directions:
1. Melt butter in a frying pan and add onion, cook until nice and caramelized. I usually start on medium-high for a few minutes and turn down to medium low for 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, slice bread and spread butter on each piece. Flip over and spread BBQ sauce on each piece. Put Cheddar on top slice and other kind of cheese on the bottom slice.
3. When the onions are done, put them on top of the cheese and top with top slice of bread and cheese. Put pan back on burner on medium heat.
4. Put sandwiches in pan and grill on each side until toasty brown.
5. Eat. Love. Pray and thank God for this amazing gift.
