Broiler BLT's

These aren't your everyday BLT's, they're oh so much more. This is another recipe that you can suit to your tastes. We eat them for lunch or dinner and they are hearty and filling, not to mention ready in a flash. Enjoy!

Broiler BLT's
{Do what you'd like with these...follow the recipe to a 'T' or use it as a jumping off point i.e. pesto, ranch, sundried tomato mayo, avocado, provolone, swiss, shredded chicken, the sky's the limit}

To make 4 sandwiches:
4 kaiser or good hard rolls
Miracle Whip or any other condiment you choose
1/2 lb deli ham
1/2 lb deli turkey
6-8 slices bacon, crisp cooked
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced (yellow or vidalia would do fine)
1 T butter
1 T olive oil
1 t sugar
Fresh ground pepper
Grated colby jack cheese
Green leaf lettuce

Turn broiler on high. Slice rolls in half and place on cookie sheet. Broil, watching carefully, just till lightly brown. Remove from oven and set aside. In small skillet melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and 1 t sugar. Let cook, stirring occasionally until soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside. On bottom half of each roll spread miracle whip. Layer ham and turkey and then a couple bacon slices on each. Next add tomatoes, cooked red onions, fresh ground pepper and grated cheese. Place just these bottoms back in oven and broil till cheese is sufficiently melted. Remove from oven and layer lettuce and any other veggies you'd like. Spread miracle whip on remaining roll halves, top broiled bottoms, and serve.
