- 2 dill pickle spears, chopped
- 8 slices American cheese

- Let cool slightly, slice into 8 pieces, and serve with Thousand Island dressing.
Notes
Ensure turkey bacon or halal bacon is used for dietary compliance.
For a gooier cheese pull, try shredded mozzarella or cheddar.
Let the beef cool slightly before rolling to prevent dough from disintegrating.
