Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2 rolls of refrigerator biscuits (10 per roll)
1/2 lb. sausage, browned
5 slices American Cheese (torn in quarters)

Flatten biscuits and stretch out. Top with cheese, sausage, & cheese. Stretch a second biscuit to top each one and crimp with a fork. Cut a tiny slit in top of each pocket.

Bake in 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes

Variations: Spaghetti sauce, mozarella, and pepperoni. Chicken chunks, cream cheese, chives. Ham and Swiss. Cream cheese, green olives, minced onion. Hotdogs and cheese. Bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese. PB&J?

One last suggestion that I'm curious to try from Lea & Perrins:

1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 strips crisp bacon - crumbled, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp. instant minced onion. Hmmmmm. Could be really good or really gross.

Jan's Sandwiches (Janie's Version) original recipe from Once A Month Cooking by
Mimi Wilson and MaryBeth Lagerborg

1 (2 1/2 ounce) package thin-sliced, corned beef luncheon meat
1 (8 oz) jar cheez whiz
1 T. minced onion
2 T. light mayonnaise
8 sandwich or onion rolls

*(okay, corned beef is just gross, so I used one of those glad-ware packaged Hillshire Farms Thin Sliced Deli Style Honey Ham and it made enough for 2 packages of rolls, plus I used about half, maybe more of a large cheez whiz, and the cheez whiz has so much fat in it, why bother with light mayo? so I went whole-hog and had the real stuff)

Chop meat and mix with Cheez Whiz, onion, and mayonnaise. Spread filling on one bun; top with second bun. Wrap buns individually in foil and freeze in their original bread bag.

To prepare for serving: thaw rolls and bake in foil in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes. *(Note: I didn't bother thawing, and they worked just fine. Also, write the cooking instructions on the plastic bag with a permanent marker, so you don't have to find the recipe when you are ready to cook these babies. BTW, they were delicious and tasted very much like an Arby's Ham & Cheese.)

1 lb. Sharp Cheddar Cheese (grated)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 small jar pimentos (diced, peeled, drained)

Melt Cheese & Milk in double boiler, add pimentos, spread on 1 loaf white bread, chill (I just do the whole loaf, then slip the bag back over the stack and chill them in the original bread bag). Cut off crusts & triangle to serve.

(Also looks cool as ribbon sandwiches - wheat bread, cheese, white bread, cheese, wheat bread, cheese, white bread ; cut off crusts then slice into 1/2 wide ribbon sandwiches) Other abberations that I've tried and loved - green chiles and minced onion instead of, or with the pimento or else a heaping table spoon of diced jalepeno instead of or with the pimento!)

I have to admit that I've been craving these sandwiches. I've been making them for our Christmas Eve party at Mom's for several years, and we had pizza instead this year...finally made them yesterday. Love them!
