      Yeah something between a melt and grilled cheese. The chicharon made it extra crunchy.

        There is nothing between a melt and a grilled cheese. It’s one or the other. Or neither. I’m bringing this argument back.

          Personally I’d lean towards grilled cheese with extra stuff in it for this sandwich. I feel like to be considered a melt it’d have to be something like a tuna melt where the cheese accompanies the tuna, and not the other way around. You think the classification is a question of volume proportions between cheese and whatever else is in it?

              Nah with a melt, the other stuff is more important than the cheese. In a grilled cheese, the cheese is the star. Even in your link it says the cheese accompanies whatever else in a melt.

      It was so good. The whole was greater than the sum of its parts. I also dipped it in guacamole for some extra goodness

    Oh dang, good idea. I don’t really like chicharron by itself, but I bet that’s freaking perfect. Although I might crush up the chicharron into bits first and sprinkle it over rather than such large chunks.

    Congratulations, that is a win

      Yeah I’m thinking next time I’ll cut the chicharon into smaller bits, but this one was still pretty good texture wise

        Nice. Mad congrats. I’m not huge on eating bags of chicharron unaccompanied, but I definitely fully endorse their addition to a grilled cheese. It makes the best kind of sense.
