sandwiches

slices hickory-smoked bacon

slices rustic white bread

slices provolone cheese (3/4 oz each)

slices Cheddar cheese (3/4 oz each)

egg

3/4

cup pale ale beer

1/4

cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

1/4

teaspoon chipotle chili powder

tablespoon butter

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel.
On 2 of the bread slices, place 1 slice provolone cheese, 3 slices bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese on each. Top with remaining bread slices.
Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or to 375°F. In shallow bowl, beat egg, beer, flour and chili powder with fork until smooth. Dip each sandwich into batter, giving it a few seconds on each side to absorb the batter; drain excess batter back into bowl.
Melt butter on hot griddle. Place sandwiches on griddle. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
