Grilled Cheese Recipe Showdown Seeks Unique Recipes

Think grilled cheese sandwiches start and end with cheese and bread? Think again. The Grilled Cheese Academy is hosting a recipe contest to find the tastiest, most unique grilled Wisconsin Cheese sandwich in the country. The first place winner will receive a gourmet kitchen makeover, a $1,000 MasterCard gift card, and his or her recipe featured in the 2013 Grilled Cheese Academy Recipe book. Ten other winners will also take home prizes, including gift cards and Wisconsin Cheese baskets.

Sponsored by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, the contest begins Monday, April 1 and ends Sunday, May 12. To enter, contestants must submit a grilled cheese recipe featuring Wisconsin Cheese. Several of the winning recipes will be featured in a grilled cheese e-book.
