Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound polish Kielbasa, sliced into 1/4 inch circles

Place the pan under the broiler - along with the top of the rolls (facing inside up) to slightly crisp its edges Once cheese has melted, remove from the oven. PAY ATTENTION WHEN IN BROILER. Spread some more mustard/jelly condiment on the inside top of the roll and close the sandwich.
