This Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese is the perfect easy weeknight dinner! With fresh guacamole, crispy bacon and gooey cheese you can’t go wrong.
On summer evenings, most likely you will find me out by the pool until after dark. The kids love to swim, but days here are so hot that we enjoy evening pool parties the best. With a relaxed schedule, sometimes it can be later than I’d like before everyone is ready for dinner.
This means I need to keep things simple.
I was recently asked by Sargento® to create a unique recipe with Sargento® Sliced Cheese, and I came up with what may be my favorite sandwich ever. It also happens to be incredibly easy to make!
This Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese is the perfect dinner for after summer evenings in the pool.
I like to bake the bacon and make the guacamole in the afternoon so that I can have dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes.
I love how Sargento® Sliced Cheese, which I pick up at Fry’s, makes getting sandwiches on the table even easier.
Sargento® Sliced Cheese works great on everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to paninis and burgers. They are the perfect way to simplify your next pool party or grill out!
With so many varieties, it is easy to get creative. I am a big fan of both the Garlic & Herb Jack and the Tomato & Basil Jack. But of course, you can’t go wrong with Cheddar, Colby, Gouda…heck, you can’t go wrong with any type of cheesy sandwich.
Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 2 avocados peeled, pitted and mashed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 fresh jalapeno seeded and diced fine
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 roma tomato seeded and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 12 ounces cheese
- 16 slices beef or turkey bacon cooked
- 16 slices gluten free bread
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine avocados, lime juice, sea salt, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato and garlic. Stir until well combined. If making a few hours ahead, place plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole to prevent browning.
- Lay four slices of bread on a cutting board and top with cheese and bacon. Spread the other four slices with a thick layer of guacamole and place face down on the other slices of bread to make four sandwiches.
- Heat a skillet to medium-low heat. Melt butter and add sandwiches. Cook until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Oh my goodness — talk about MAJOR YUM! My husband would absolutely love this! I’m thinking it would also be good slathered on a BLT this summer 🙂
Mmmm, you had me at bacon! This sounds absolutely divine. I cannot wait to make one of these for myself.
I love a good grilled cheese, but they can get so boring. This looks amazing and ‘spices it up’!
This is my absolute favorite way to make grilled cheese! The combination of flavors is absolutely amazing!
I so want to try this recipe. Guacamole sandwich for summer vibe..love it! The constrast of the green guacamole and the yellow cheese is so eye appealing.
I’ve always loved grilled cheese sandwiches but this one is certainly a delectable spin on it. It must have some amazing flavor combinations.
That looks really really tasty. I am going to try this one at home! Amber N
OkI admit it you had me at bacon. This is so delicious looking and what an awesome twist on a grill sandwich.
