I used garlic powder in place of the minced garlic. These turned out perfect and the whole family enjoyed the new take on grilled cheese.

I made these last night and my family really liked them. I used leftover homemade pulled pork, but the biggest revelation was the mayo on the outside instead of butter. Who knew you could do that? It was the best, most crispy grilled cheese ever!
