04 - Layer the bottom slices with lettuce, turkey, roast beef, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, and crispy bacon.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The combination of hot crispy bacon with cool ranch creates this incredible temperature contrast that makes every bite exciting
- You can throw this together in under 20 minutes but it tastes like something from a deli counter
02 -
- Dry your tomatoes with paper towels or the bread gets soggy within minutes which ruins the whole experience
- Let the bacon drain thoroughly because excess grease makes everything slide around when you try to eat it
03 -
- Warming the meat slightly for 30 seconds makes the cheese melt beautifully without making everything hot
- The ratio of bacon to everything else is flexible but never go below 3 slices per sandwich
