THE MUNROE MELT
I created this sandwich one weekend when I couldn't decide whether to have turkey, roast beef, or ham. This sandwich has all three! You can substitute Italian roast beef for the regular roast beef to take this sandwich to another level. Most supermarket delis carry the Italian, you just have to ask. Also, the order of the ingredients is important for all of the tastes to blend properly.

THE MUNROE MELT (SANDWICH)
I found this recipe on a website called Choice Cooking Recipes. I have never found a prepared dijon-mayo blend, so I just use 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard and 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise, and blend the two conditments together with a knife. Most in my family like this sandwich with a few thin slices of red onion added, but that's our own addition (it's not a part of the original recipe), so I've listed that as an optional ingredient.

Tips:
- For the ultimate melt, use a combination of sharp cheddar, provolone, and Swiss cheese.
- Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of bread before assembling the sandwich.
- Cook the sandwich in a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Serve the sandwich immediately, garnished with additional Thousand Island dressing and a pickle spear.
- For a vegetarian version of the melt, omit the ham and add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
