Instructions

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and wipe out the pan.
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices butter side down. Layer with cheddar, bacon and provolone, then top with the remaining bread, butter side up.
Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted. Cover the pan for a minute if the cheese needs help.
Let rest for a minute, slice in half and serve with tomato soup.
