Feel that chill in the air? It’s hard to shake. But with the right meal – nay, the right grilled cheese recipes – you can beat any chill that shoots through your bones. And while the standard grilled cheese made with sharp cheddar, bread and a tiny slab of butter is quite tasty, there are myriad other grilled cheese recipes that taste equally (if not more) amazing! Here are two of our favorites.

2. Hot Chile Grilled Cheese via Eating Well, Delish
Yield: four servings
Ingredients*
4 poblano peppers
1 can (14-ounce) pinto beans
3 tablespoon(s) prepared salsa
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) shredded Monterey Jack, or Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoon(s) low-fat plain yogurt
3 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh cilantro
8 slice(s) sourdough bread
*Use all organic ingredients if you can.
Method
Assemble ingredients between bread. Place four, 15-ounce canned goods and a medium skillet (not nonstick) by the stove. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place two fully-constructed grilled cheese sandwiches in the pan. Then place the medium skillet on top of the sandwiches — weighted down with the cans. Cook the sandwiches until golden on one side (about 2 minutes). Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the sandwiches, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden (1 to 3 minutes more). Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining two sandwiches.
