BBQ Chicken and Cheddar Sandwiches

I don't even need to explain why I chose to make this recipe.  If you don't think it sounds good, you're crazy.  When I saw the picture, it looked like my BBQ chicken sandwiches on steriods.  Mmm.  Here's the recipe:

So this looks like it could cause a heart attack, and usually foods that look like they could cause a heart attack at least taste like they could cause a heart attack... right?  Not this one!  Lame!  All that cheese, bacon, and BBQ sauce and for some reason the one thing it lacked was FLAVOR!  Weird.  I couldn't figure out why it didn't taste absolutely amazingly flavorfully delicious and my husband said, "You know how when you mix together a bunch of colors it just turns brown?  Well, maybe there's just too much flavor and all the flavors got canceled out."  Haha, maybe.  Or maybe I'm just not good at making these.  I might eventually try again, but it'll be a while.  Too disappointing.  Not a horrible recipe, but so not worth all the fat.
