Start with 2 pieces of white sandwich bread.

Butter one side of each piece of bread with softened butter.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Heat a pan on the stove until hot.

Place the buttered side of one slice of bread down in the pan.

Add 1 slice of American cheese on top of the bread in the pan.

Add 1 slice of Vita sliced cheese on top of the American cheese.

Add a handful of mozzarella cheese on top of the Vita cheese.

Add some sharp cheddar cheese on top of the mozzarella.

Grate some Colby Jack cheese on top of the sharp cheddar cheese.

Place the other slice of bread on top, butter side up, and press down a little.

Flip the sandwich over once the bottom is golden brown and press down again.

Turn off the heat and transfer the sandwich to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place about 3 pieces of pre-cooked bacon on top of the sandwich.

Cover the sandwich with more mozzarella cheese.

Add more shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of the mozzarella.

Finish with more grated Colby Jack cheese on top of the sandwich.

Put the baking sheet in the oven for about 3 to 4 minutes until all the cheese is melted and gooey.

Remove from the oven and cut into the sandwich to see the inside.
