Vegans can also indulge on a luscious grilled cheese. This one has caramelized onions, apples and a beer dipping sauce. Enjoy!

As most of you know, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. We're more than half way through the month and, as you've probably noticed, we haven't posted a grilled cheese recipe yet. Not one. Can you believe it!  One of the most delicious, decadent, sure-to-please-everyone comfort foods ever invented, and we dropped the ball. Shame on us!!

But don't worry, we're pretty sure we've found a way to make up for it

How you may ask? Well, of course, by creating an awesome recipe that will knock your socks off, if we may say so ourselves.

And here's how we injected some awesomeness into this recipe:

1) By making it super cheesy, gooey and decadent, but keeping it vegan. The secret? A combination of not one, not two, but three delicious "cheeseless cheeses" from GO Veggie! ": Vegan Pepper Jack Slices for a little kick,  Vegan Mozzarella Shreds to make it extra gooey and Vegan  Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese Alternative for a touch of creaminess. The advantage?  You get all the melty, stretchy, yummy goodness with less saturated fat, no cholesterol, dairy or lactose. All plant based and rich in calcium! Plus, they're gluten free so use you don't have to miss out! Just use your favorite gluten free bread (and gluten free beer) and you're all set!

2) Beer. Yes, beer! Remember how when you were a kid you used to dunk your grilled cheese in hot, creamy tomato soup? Well, here's the "adultified" (not a real word, we know) version of that classic combo. We made a  beer and onion gravy that, combined with all the cheesiness, is out of this world. Oh and don't worry about the alcohol. The gravy is cooked long enough that it's pretty much gone by the time it's done!

3) By toasting the bread before assembling the sandwich. Super simple step, but gives it that extra awesome crunch that most of us love!

So what do you think? Have we redeem ourselves?? 😉

Enjoy!
