"This is an excellent sandwich adapted from a magazine. Be sure to use deli fresh meats and a good quality Italian dressing and Italian bread. I use precooked bacon warmed up according to the package directions."

Just the ticket for sandwich night. Loved the Italian dressing and Parm toasted before making the sandwich. Very tasty. Will have again this summer I'm sure. Thnx for posting, Lvs2Cook. Made for My-3-Chefs 2008.
