I don’t know about you, but I am so excited that it is officially fall which means, it’s time to experiment with some of my favorite soup and sandwich combinations! With cooler weather comes the craving for warm and comforting soups and stews.
What goes best with a homemade soup? An ooey gooey grilled cheese sandwich, of course! And as any cheese lover knows, there is never too much cheese when it comes to making one of these classic sandwiches.
One of my favorite fall themed meals that my family also loves is my extra cheesy Southwest Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
When my boys see me pulling out Sargento® Blends™ 4 Cheese Southwest Slices, they know they’re in for a real treat.
Whether I make them as a snack or for dinner with one of my homemade soups, they’re always a big hit! I love this cheese product because of how Sargento® blends the creaminess of Monterey Jack with Chipotle Cheddar, Colby and Pepper Jack cheeses all into one delicious slice! I have also been incorporating cheeses in many of my recipes and I love the variety of sliced cheese flavors that Sargento® offers.
I find that Southwestern flavors are so delicious because of all the yummy goodness you get when combining popular Southwest ingredients like fresh tomatoes, poblano chiles, and of course, cheese. The common flavors are bold and strong and most recipes incorporate fresh cilantro and chiles in a variety of ways.
This is why my Southwest Grilled Cheese Sandwiches have the perfect mixture of rustic and spice of the Southwest. I can say, they’re really melt in your mouth sandwiches and now, they are a staple in my house!
Go ahead and give this easy recipe a try!
Sargento® Blends™ 4 Cheese Southwest Slices are easily found in the dairy aisle of your local Harris Teeter grocery store right with the rest of the pre-packaged cheese slices. Add these to your next grocery list for Harris Teeter so that you can whip up these amazing sandwiches next time you are wondering what to make for dinner. Right now, you can save $0.75 on ONE (1) Sargento® Blends™ 4 Cheese Southwest Slices (must be redeemed by 12/31/18).
Don’t forget to try my other favorite cheese slices that I also buy at Harris Teeter that I love just as much, which are the Sargento® Blends™ 5 Cheese Italian Slices. I love how Sargento® combines my favorite cheese in one 100% real, natural cheese. Only the creaminess of Mozzarella with Romano, Parmesan, Fontina, and Asiago cheeses turn a simple grilled cheese into a delicious gooey sandwich bite after bite. We sometimes combine both Sargento® Blends™ cheese slice flavors into one sandwich, then grill it and dip into our favorite tomato soup. Yum! These grilled sandwiches are perfect for quick weekend lunches too, so I try to have all the ingredients on hand for a last minute treat for the family or for when we have unexpected guests.
It used to be all about the bread. But if you ask me, it’s all about the cheese! So I invite all of you cheese lovers to add Sargento® Blends™ 4 Cheese Southwest Slices to your shopping list! Just think all the flavors you love are right there in one tasty slice! Go ahead and make these Southwest Grilled Sandwiches tonight!

I used Hatch green chiles (medium heat) instead of plobano for more of a punch..
OH YUM! I am not typically a grilled cheese fan bc they are usually one note and no flavor. BUT THIS THING! Flavor packed! LOVE!
This is perfect for my son. He loves sandwiches, cheese both. Will prepare it for him, he will be happy.
Oh 5 stars! Great post! That is a beautiful tart and a fantastic sounding recipe. Thank You
This sandwich is definitely packed with flavor. Grilled cheese is a must in any weather, but more so in winter.
What a delicious and fresh looking sandwich! I bet it’d be great with avocado too. 🙂
yes yes and yes, You used my favorite cheese. I’ve already pinned this recipe for later.
Not sure if Sargento Blends is available here in my country but I would love to try this out as well. Hopefully, I could find this here.
I love grilled cheese and it is a favorite for my kids. I have not made one like this before but love the idea of making it this way and adding all of that flavor. Thank you for the idea!

Good grilled cheese always starts with good cheese. Then come all the fun stuff
