Homemade Bacon Melt vs. Steak 'n' Shake's Grilled Cheese 'n' Bacon Sandwich

Bite It: Homemade Bacon Melt

Hey, Steak 'n Shake -- keep your fatty, greasy, ridiculously high-calorie bacon and cheese melts to yourself! HG's got one that uses slimmed-down ingredients and tastes almost as good as the real thing. Yeah, it really does. Try it.

Ingredients

2 slices Wonder Light White Bread (or another light bread)
2 strips Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Bacon
2 slices Kraft Free Singles, American (or another fat-free American cheese)
20 sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray

Directions

In a skillet sprayed with no-cal cooking spray, cook bacon strips on medium heat until crispy and fully cooked (about 5 minutes). Evenly spritz butter spray on 1 side of each slice of bread, using 10 sprays per slice. Top the unsprayed side of 1 slice of bread with a slice of cheese. Place cooked bacon strips on top of cheese, and cover with second slice of cheese. Next, top with the other bread slice (with the buttered side facing up). Place sandwich in a skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and cook over low to medium heat until bread is brown and toasty and cheese is nice and melty (about 1 to 2 minutes per side). Use a spatula to press down on sandwich while it cooks. Slice sandwich down the middle, diagonally, or just bite right into it!
