1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Tomato
Wash the tomato and slice it into thin rounds.

3
Assemble the Sandwich
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side, layer 1 slice of American cheese, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of cooked bacon, and a few slices of tomato. Top with another slice of American cheese and another slice of cheddar cheese.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

5
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve hot.
