I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The sweet potato and pecan filling was too thick and the sandwich was impossible to grill. I ended up throwing it away.

This grilled cheese sandwich was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory filling. The sandwich was also a bit difficult to eat because the filling was so runny.

This recipe was easy to follow and the sandwich turned out great! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and I added a few slices of bacon for extra flavor. My husband and I both loved it!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sandwich didn't turn out as good as the picture. The sweet potato and pecan filling was too runny and the sandwich was difficult to hold together. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This grilled cheese sandwich was just okay. The sweet potato and pecan filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the sandwich was overall a bit messy to eat. I wouldn't make this again.
