Grilled Bacon & Tomato Sandwich

I pulled out my trustee Cuisine Tonight: Weeknight Menus book for this recipe. I knew it had to be good because before I sat down Mike took a bite and said, “Did you take a picture yet?” How can you go wrong, though, with pepperjack cheese, bacon and avocado?

Simply Lasagna
