Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the greens: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Set the bacon aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the kale to the pan and toss in the bacon fat. Add the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of water and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted down, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the bacon. Set aside for sandwich assembly.
- For the squash: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with olive oil spray. Spread out the slices of squash on the baking sheet and spray the squash generously with the olive oil spray. Sprinkle with the garlic salt, black pepper, paprika and cinnamon. Roast until softened, 45 to 55 minutes. Set aside for sandwich assembly.
- For the sandwiches: Lay 2 slices of bread on a work surface. Place a slice of American cheese on a bread slice. Spread 1/4 cup of the greens over the cheese. Place 2 pieces of squash on top. Cover with a piece of pepper jack cheese. Top with a slice of bread. Repeat to assemble 3 more sandwiches.
- Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Put the sandwiches in the pan and press down with a spatula. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bread turns golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Slice in half.
BLT
The basic classic: bacon, lettuce, and tomato -- nothing fancy, just delicious. (I personally use fake vegetarian bacon these days, and it's still really good!)

Steps:
- Lay strips of uncooked bacon over a sheet pan fitted with a rack. This will allow the bacon fat to drip off onto the sheet pan and cause the bacon to crisp when baked.
- Lightly sprinkle some fresh ground black pepper and brown sugar over the uncooked bacon. Add some kosher salt depending on how salty you like your bacon.
- Place the bacon in a cold oven and then set the oven temp to 400 degrees and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes depending on how crispy you like it and thickness of the bacon. (I start checking on it around the 7 minute mark)
- Move the cooked bacon to a plate covered in paper towels to drain.
- Brush on the melted butter on one side of the bread and grill buttered side till golden brown.
- Add bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo to grilled bread slices, pop open a beer and enjoy!

- To make the sandwich ahead of time, cook the bacon and toast the bread, then assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
- If you don't have a toaster, you can toast the bread in a pan over medium heat.

- To make a vegetarian BLT sandwich, omit the bacon and add avocado, portobello mushrooms, or tofu.
