After seeing John’s suicide sandwich I found out I have a competitive side which I never knew I had. Gears started turning in my head to come up with the most cholesterol laden, fatty sandwich I could come up with. I’ve always wanted to make the grilled cheese sandwich burger before and that’s pretty heavy, so I figured that was the perfect place to start. Bacon just feels natural to me, so of course that was going to be worked in. And more cheese, I love cheese. Normally I wouldn’t advocate the use of the plastic cheese, but it flows with the overall scheme. Still, something was missing. Then I remembered when I made the sausage stuffed french toast and someone suggested sausage gravy, I had never made sausage gravy before so I thought it’d be fun to give it a try. Super easy! Concerns me actually, if I can whip up sausage gravy in a few minutes now, what’s going to stop me from putting on everything. I digress. I’ll let the pictures do the talking from here…

Oh my god girl! Since you wrote this after you ate that I am guessing you are still alive. Any injuries after that?
I almost put a warning message before this post. That sandwich is crazy.
YOU ARE A BEAST WOMAN!!!!! Haha, I can’t believe you. This is highly impressive. John I think you’ve got to up her now.
“Bacon just feels natural to me…” – Hahah
“Sooooo originally I was going to just put the grilled cheese in the toaster but then I was like, I should fry it. It was frying in butter until I looked to the side and I was like, DUH, fry it in the bacon fat with the burgers!” – That’s why you are now to be referred to as Genius Varta.
Oh, a rebuttal will come soon enough. I’m not sure how, but I will top this. Planning has already begun.
No injuries, I think my body is fairly used to me putting it though this.
Bear, I like to call myself a monster. haha.
Bring it, John, I’m already starting to think of other fatty foods. I may stray away from the burger stuff for a bit tho. Trying to be creative.
Warning to all, if you make this, you may never be able to eat a grilled cheese sandwich the old way again, the bacon grease just made it amazing.
Oh and question, how do you get a pic in your post?
Looks amazing! I’m going to try it. Just a single though, I want to make it to my 30th birthday!
Here’s a challenge: figure out a way to get john to eat veggies. Fry them, cover them in sausage gravy. I don’t care!! This bacon burger cheese….lord. It has to end!!! I’m sure at least ONE person will agree with me that reads this…bless your mother john.
@Stephanie – Hahahahahah
Stephanie, I’m on it.
I prepped for this though. I ate nothing but grapes and strawberries before and after.
Bear, I think my next endeavor is a pizza. minimal sauce.
I’m going to have to ban my Mother from this blog if this keeps up.
I have visions of everyone’s arteries clogged with fat. Thank you, Stephanie!
Hahahaha….this is too funny.
Varta, I’ve got a 20″ one with your name on it!
Badbakht
That sandwich is absolutely revoltingly wonderful!! I want to eat it now. For even extra fat calories, maybe Spam fried in the bacon grease could have been added.
Joonster what the hell is wrong with you

What, no MAYO?!??!?!??
YUCK.
Disgusting!!!!
that looks horrifying and disgusting >.<
how come the skinny girls always come up with the fattest things? I’d be lying if I said I would try this because well.. I would devour it like you did! =)
That sandwich was crying out for a fried egg or two. You already had the grease for frying!
Maybe it’s because I just ate a big lunch, or maybe because I find the gravy color too weird, but looking at this caused me a little churning.
…how are you so insanely thin and can come up with these things anyway?!
This looks delicious. And disgustingly fat. And delicious.
And bacon.
