Elvis’ Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
While Elvis is primarily known for being one of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century, we can’t ignore his namesake sandwich—the one with peanut butter, banana, and bacon all smashed together. Nicknamed the “Elvis” sandwich, this collision of delicious indulgence is made up of ingredients that seem like they’d clash, but much like Elvis’s music—a dynamic rockabilly fusion of heartfelt country and soulful rhythm and blues—they create something beautiful. The combo is sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy all at once.
