When I was a child one of my favorite meals was grilled cheese and tomato soup. My mom would take two pieces of bread, lightly butter the outsides, and place a piece of cheese in the middle. I loved my grilled cheese sandwiches.
Then one summer I stayed at my Grandma’s house for a few weeks by myself. She asked me what I wanted for lunch and I requested my favorite, grilled cheese and tomato soup. I stared in awe as she got out the Kraft cheese, buttered both sides of the bread, placed several slices of cheese between the bread and grilled up one of the best sandwiches I’d ever eaten in my life.
My Grandmother passed away twenty years ago and my memories of eating grilled cheese at her house are some of the fondest I have of my time with her. One slice of cheese was never enough for any sandwich, you always needed at least two or three according to my Grandma!
To this day (and probably because of all those grilled cheese made with love from my Grandma) I still love a delicious grilled cheese sandwich made with Kraft Singles served with a bowl of soup.
A few years ago I received a panini maker and ever since my family has loved making panini’s for lunch and even dinner. Grilled cheese just got a whole lot better! Last summer when my mother-in-law was babysitting for us she skipped dinner plans almost every night in favor of making more panini’s! Panini sandwiches have become one of our favorite “go-to” meals.
Below is one of my favorite panini recipes.
- Hearty bread
- Kraft Singles (made with real milk)
- Bacon
- Roast Beef
- Sliced Dill Pickles
- Spicy Mustard
I layer all the ingredients and cook on the panini grill for a few minutes. I love how the cheese melts and the spicy mustard is the perfect touch for the sandwich. We usually serve our panini’s with fresh fruit, vegetables, and sometimes potato salad if I’m getting fancy!
My kids prefer basic grilled cheese made with Kraft Singles, although I often convince them to add a little ham to spice it up! 
While I don’t travel with my panini maker I do like to bring sandwich fixen’s when we are on the road. I love that Kraft Singles are individually wrapped because it makes for a quick snack on the road or in the hotel room.

Our family like Kraft singles because they are SO convenient! They make a good grilled cheese – very creamy & gooey. They also are great as a snack on crackers or alone, and are so easy for my husband to use when he goes on his “sandwich kicks” – having one every day (sometimes twice a day) for several weeks at a time. I also love that they are something I can feel good about feeding my guys – that’s always the best part!

I love Kraft Singles because it is real cheese not cheese food. I also like to buy it because it is already portioned out.

I love them because unwrapping that slice remindes me of childhood.
I love Kraft Singles because they taste so good.
I melt them on mashed potatoes!!!!!
I love the taste-and I am not a cheese person! I use to be a vegetarian and would eat Kraft singles cheese sandwiches all the time. I’m currently over 9 months pregnant and am having my water broke tomorrow so I have been eating everything today and am now going to make a Kraft singles grilled cheese sandwich! Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway!
I LOVE the way they melt so nice and smooth on everything you put in your sandwich.
And can I just add that my kids love my “adult” grilled cheeses made with ham and pepper jack cheese. You’ve GOT to try it!

I love KRAFT singles because it is a quick and easy snack my kids can grab and eat without me having to “spoon feed” it to them. My 7, 5, and 3yo can run to the fridge and serve themselves which is a plus when I still have a 10mo whom I do have to spoon feed.
I always keep two large packs stocked in my fridge. Definitely “Like” KRAFT on FB.
They make a great grilled cheese sandwich.
They have no artificial flavors.
Love that they are preportioned and I don’t wind up wasting any.
Kraft singles is something I discovered later in life as being from the UK it was never the thing to eat. But since moving to the US I love my Kraft singles between two slices of toast and to add a little British flavour I then add some salad cream.
I like Kraft Singles because my kids like them
and because they are easy to transport being individually wrapped.
I love Kraft Singles because they remind me of my childhood. Whenever you needed that one quick snack, you would sneak into the kitchen as fast as you could and grab a Kraft singles from the fridge before mom could catch you. However, it would always backfire when later mom would find the plastic sleeves from the cheese hidden in our rooms.

Kraft singles is the only kind my kids will eat!! we all love it! it makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches!!
We LOVE having Kraft singles in the house for last minute grilled cheese sandwiches and tortilla wraps.
I only feed my kids Kraft because I want them to eat real cheese.
I liked Kraft on face book and tweeted that I like them.
There is no better cheese than Kraft singles for grilled cheese. It is also great to use a single or two when cooking and toy want to make something extra cheesy without a lot of extra calories.
