Perfect grilled cheese with bacon and sautéed onions

Grilled cheese is a great comfort food that is easily prepared. It invokes memories of ones childhood as an after-school snack between cartoons and homework. I opted for swiss rather then the nostalgic bright orange American cheese. The swiss has a nice nuttiness that adds balance to the salty bacon and sweet onions. The aforementioned bacon and onions upgrade this childhood sandwich to a more gourmet one.
