Gooey Grilled Cheese

Who doesn't love a perfect grilled cheese sandwich?  The bread is perfectly browned and the cheese inside is melted all the way through.  I know that I have made grilled cheese where the bread is burned and the cheese isn't melted.  Here is a way to make it amazing:

• 2 pieces of bread per sandwich
• Butter
• Cheese of your choice (I used 2 slices of cheddar per sandwich and then cut some thin slices of colby jack)

1. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat that you have a lid for
2. Butter 1 piece of bread for each sandwich and put into pan butter side down.
3. Layer cheese on top of bread, cover the pan and let cook while you butter the remaining bread
4. Put the top layer on the bread and flip to check the bottom bread piece.
5. Continue to cook with the lid on so that the entire sandwich is heated and all of the cheese melts
6. Check every few minutes to make sure the bread doesn't burn
7. Enjoy!
