"These delicious stuffed sandwiches are easy to put together," assures Shannon Hansen from Oxnard, California. "Some can be baked as soon as they're assembled, while the rest can be frozen for a quick dinner later. Sometimes I use cubed sharp cheddar cheese instead of shredded cheese in these sandwiches."
