made this just as recipe is called for and let me tell you it was fab!! even dd loved it and she is picky.pretty much identical to the blue bayou at disneyland. great recipe. thanks for adopting -
Did not have golden onion soup mix so tried herb and garlic (Lipton). I loved the flavor of the mustard - used honey mustard - and butter for the sandwich spread. However, I used regular white sandwich bread and when I dipped (fairly quickly) it got soaked all the way through. In cooking, perhaps the heat was too high but the inside of the bread (next to the ham & cheese) was still soggy. I'll try cooking slower over lower heat next time. Great taste if not a little drippy.
