I LOVE grilled cheese. I tried Harrison Ford’s recipe with his secret ingredient and OMG—it took it to another level! It made this simple recipe so special and delicious. My whole family loves it. Recipe

Grilled cheese is one of life’s simple pleasures. But leave it to Harrison Ford — yes, that Harrison Ford — to add one unexpected ingredient that changes everything: Worcestershire sauce.

His son, chef Ben Ford, revealed this savory secret, and once you try it, there’s no going back.
