Prep Time: 20 MIN

Total Time: 25 MIN

Servings: 2

Ingredients

6 slices hickory-smoked bacon

4 slices rustic white bread

2 slices provolone cheese (3/4 oz each)

2 slices Cheddar cheese (3/4 oz each)

1 egg

¾ cup pale ale beer

¼ cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. 1 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel.

2. 2 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.

3. 3 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.
