Cheese Dreams
I should add that my husband loves these served with soup for lunch, a change from sandwiches. In that case I dont remove the crusts, just butter bread, cut in half, sprinkle with grated cheese and top with half a slice of partly cooked bacon.

Easy Steak and Gravy
Ive been making the same thing for years except I slow cook the steak for an hour, then add carrots and potatoes and cook another hour. The potatoes absorb the flavor of the gravy and make the dish a more man hungry meal
