Prepare a griddle at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring to cover all corners and edges.

Turn the slices over and place two slices of new school American cheese on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.

For bacon sandwiches, evenly distribute 4 slices of bacon on top of the cheese.

For pimento cheese sandwiches, add a spoonful of pimento cheese on top of the cheese.

Assemble the sandwiches by placing the other slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side out.

Place the sandwiches on the griddle and cover with two pans to help melt the cheese.

Set a timer for 4 minutes and cook the first side until golden brown.

After 4 minutes, flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes, checking for doneness.

After a total of about 7 minutes, remove the sandwiches from the griddle and let cool slightly before serving.
