Bacon Double Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I found this recipe at Closet Cooking and made it for dinner last night. I had to make enough for 7 of us, so I never was able to get a photo of a finished product. So I'll show you the original photo from Closet Cooking.  This recipe was so delicious and the kids went for seconds!
