My boys went crazy for this, especially Cole. He seems to get sandwich fatigue, since sandwiches make a regular appearance in his lunch. Me, I don’t want much from a meal other than good food, good company and eventually someone to make it for me on a regular basis

The latter being something I’m training Cole to do, but until then I’ll go for fast and easy meals like this. And pssst . .  .  you know what I wish I had slathered in the middle of this gooey, cheesy waffled sandwich? Bacon jam! But that jar disappeared faster than fairy dust.

If you have some on hand, do it! It will take this Waffled Tater Tot Grilled Cheese from good to great.
