Tailgater Club Sandwich

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Use a good quality ranch dressing for this, it will really improve the taste of the sandwich. All ingredient amounts can be adjusted to suit taste. I like to warm the sandwiches slightly in the microwave just before serving to soften the bread and melt cheese. You can replace the ranch with any similar dressing/spread, Thousand Island dressing will work great with this see recipe#188009 or see recipe#81986"

Grilled my bread, two halves, then added ranch. Used spinach instead of lettuce, may add black olive slices next time,

Made this for a church potluck today. I forgot to get tomatoes and only had provalone instead of swiss but they loved it. Thanks for a great sandwich.

Thanks Kitten for the great sandwich! We had this for dinner with tomato soup, and it sure is a filling sandwich. My SO could hardly finish the soup, after eating this yummy creation! I didn't have any swiss cheese, so I used all american. I'll be making this again! :)

Made these when we had some of the grandkids over and we all loved them. I used the Peppercorn-Ranch and made as directed. The only thing I would do differently next time is to use a French bread that wasn't as 'thick' as what I did this time - there was a lot of bread, lol. Very nice - thanks Kitten.
