This post was created in partnership with Muir Glen Organic. Product opinions are our own. As the weather turns cooler, we’re gearing up for cozy foods and couch snuggling over here at A Couple Cooks. Alex and I have been burning through Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and Sunday afternoons are ripe for football. This year, we even joined a fantasy football league with our neighbors. It’s incidentally made the football season much more enjoyable, even for a disinterested “fan” like me. These grilled cheese dippers are perfect game day recipes, or for really any day you’re looking for an amped up grilled cheese sandwich.
How to make grilled cheese dippers
Slicing a grilled cheese sandwich into grilled cheese dippers suddenly makes the eating experience entirely more fun! It also slows down the race car pace at which we typically plow through grilled cheese. And for dipping those grilled cheese dippers, we created this easy marinara sauce with fire roasted tomatoes. It’s simple, simmered with onion and garlic, and a magic splash of balsamic vinegar stirred in at the end. As you may know, we’re a fan of fire roasted tomatoes for their mellow taste and quick cooking time. Muir Glen Organic is our favorite brand; they’re available at your local Whole Foods Market. The finishing touch on the grilled cheese dippers is a bit of spinach for nutrients and basil pesto for a sparkle of flavor. This just may be our new favorite way to consume grilled cheese! Move over, tomato soup.
