This was soooo easy. The pepper-jack cheese really makes the difference. My family really enjoyed this meal and I will definitely make these again. I served this with a green salad for a quick, easy supper. Thanks for posting this.

I was in one of those moods for something really different. This sandwich recipe fit the bill. My family liked the pepper-jack cheese because it added a little fire. This was so easy to make that my kids actually took over for me. A fun, quick meal and not much mess to clean up. Thanks Nurse Di.

Excellent! I added a couple of Morningstar Farms fake bacon strips. Served it with Balsamic Green Beans (30516). Very good combination.
