Grilled cheese is the classic go-to comfort food that anyone with sliced bread, a burner, and a couple of Kraft singles can whip up. 

And while grilled cheese is perfect on its own, it's amazing how easy it is to bring the age-old recipe to new heights with just a few little tweaks. That's the inspiration behind this recipe for Spicy Chili Crisp Grilled Cheese.

This little sandwich packs some delicious heat thanks to one added ingredient: spicy chili crisp. If you've never heard of spicy chili crisp, it's become something of a cult classic (look for Lao Gan Ma’s chili crisp in the Asian food aisle of your grocery store). Basically, it's chili oil that contains crispy bits of onion and soy beans, but we like to think of it as the easiest way to turn comfort food into "comfort heat". 

This recipe for Spicy Chili Crisp Grilled Cheese was made on a Nexgrill Flat Top Griddle, but you can also make it on a normal gas or charcoal grill to get those classic grill marks. 

And if you want to put your own spin on it, try adjusting the recipe with your own ingredients like poblano chiles, black beans, corn kernels, or even beef.
