The ingredients for this recipe are basic, but the results are anything but boring.

Directions

2. Spray large skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and top with cast iron or other heavy skillet. Cook 2 to 5 minutes. Remove cast iron skillet, flip sandwiches, replace cast iron skillet, and cook 2 minutes more, or until cheese has melted and roll is golden.
