    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2012. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    We are a panini-loving family, and we love trying new combinations of ingredients when were concocting something new for the panini press.

    Remember when I told you that we are an over-the-top panini-loving family? That's true, we are. 

    What I neglected to tell you earlier is that this particular night I was cooking just for my husband and myself. 

    Yep, 5 giant, loaded sandwiches, just for 2!  LOL! 

    I seriously must see a doctor about the obsession I have for cooking for an army, no matter how many people will be seated at the table!

    But, the good news is that we've had plenty of delicious leftover sandwiches to grab and go during the week. 

    It doesn't get much better than that!!!  Nom-Nom!

      That looks so freaking good! I bet my husband would love it too. He's pretty big on meat everything and double meat would definitely win him over 🙂
