“I’ve never run across a more unique hot sandwich. I remember them fondly from my childhood. I tend to use the alternate proportions, because I like more meat on my sandwiches, and also since hamburger buns come in packages of 8, these proportions make it easier. Besides, if you are feeding more than one person, you are going to want sandwiches! They are addicting! I also like to top each with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.” – April Ferre
“This is a nice sandwich that can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, ready to pop in the oven. Great after a cold afternoon outing or hard day.” – Calla Ferre
