Recommended You Pick Two® Pairings with this Deluxe Grilled Cheese
Consider the following You Pick Two® combinations to pair your Grilled Mac & Cheese sandwich with a delicious soup or salad.
Well Rounded Combo: Eating a meal with a balance of fiber, fat, and protein can help you stay full for longer. Consider balancing the fat and protein in the Grilled Mac & Cheese with our highest fiber salad, the Southwest Chile Lime Ranch Salad (9g dietary fiber per half portion), or our highest fiber soup, our Turkey Chili (9g dietary fiber per cup).
Vegetarian Combo: No meat? No problem! You can customize your order any of our You Pick Two® salads, such as the Fuji Apple Salad, without chicken. On the soup menu, try our Vegetarian Autumn Squash to balance the cheesy sandwich with a rich and tangy fall classic.
Most Dippable Combo: Are you a big dipper when it comes to sandwiches? Our favorite soups paired with the Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwich are Creamy Tomato and Ten Vegetable. The tomato bases of these soups offer a delicious acidic counterpoint to the cheesy sandwich.
Cheese Lover Combo: Is your occasional decadent favorite a meal with a satisfying cheese pull? Try the Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwich with our French Onion Soup. The aged white cheddar of the sandwich and gooey gruyere that tops the soup will be plenty of cheese to delight cheese devotees.
