Grown Up Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Got this one from Cooking Light magazine and it has become a fast favorite.

Cooking spray
1 cup vertically sliced red onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 cup (4 ozs) shredded reduced-fat white cheddar cheese
8 (1 1/2- oz)slices hearty white bread (We used a hearty whole wheat instead)
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
8 slices tomato
6 slices center-cut bacon (cooked)

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over med-low heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 cup onion and garlic;cook for 10 min or tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
2.Sprinkle 2 tbsp cheese over each of 4 bread slices. Top each slice with 1/2 cup spinach, 2 tomato slices, 2 tbsp onion mixture and 1 1/2 bacon slices. Sprinkle each with 2 tbsp cheese top with remaining 4 bread slices
3. Heat skillet over med heat. Coat with cooking spray. Place sandwiches in pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese melts.

I like to use roma tomatoes they fit on the bread better. Hope you enjoy it
