From the Test Kitchen

Tonight's grilled cheese sandwiches are inspired by the savory flavors of broccoli-cheddar casserole—and accompanied by our very own ranch dipping sauce. To our creamy base of Greek yogurt, we're adding a tantalizing blend of dried herbs and aromatic spices, including chives, parsley and celery seeds. On the side, we're serving roasted fingerling potatoes, also perfect for dipping in the sauce.
