how to make Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese

3. Lay one bread slice down, buttered side hitting the hot surface.
4. First, sprinkle half the cheese on the plain side.
5. Spread that guac next, pile on your bacon, add crushed chips if that’s your thing, then finish with the rest of the cheese.
6. Top it off with the second slice, buttered side facing up.
7. Move your stacked sandwich right onto the hot skillet.
8. Let the bottom cook until it’s toasty brown, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes.
