The world's best Dagwood sandwich with three layers of toasted whole wheat bread piled high with grilled chicken, chorizo, ham, fried egg, bacon, cheese, tomato, rocket, Japanese mayo and grainy mustard.

We usually always try to eat healthy but there are some times when the teenagers just need to have to have a little fun with a little sandwich making. We did after all use whole wheat bread and there are some vegetables on top...so that counts as healthy, right?

It all started out with a simple notion of making a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich (sammie) and then my eldest son started taking things out of the refrigerator. The kitchen counter was piled high with condiments and items. I knew right then, he might be a tad hungry...

However, I must let you know that even he could not eat the whole sandwich but only half. This sandwich is of epic proportions and could easily feed a family of four with a side salad for lunch or two adults for a hearty dinner. Bacon, according to my boys, needs to be its own food group so he added just a wee bit on his triple-decker sammie. You have to love boys!

This is my son's recipe and he deserves all the credit for this beautiful sammie. I was just his photographer and quality assurance taste tester. This triple-decker sammie gets two thumbs up from me.  I really like the combination of the grilled chicken, bacon, vegetables with the Japanese mayo and grainy mustard. It is really nice.

If you want to give this sandwich a try, feel free to use whatever you have on hand. You will want to make sure you have plenty of napkins on the table as just getting this sandwich in your mouth is a big feat due to its size! Once you take that first bite, you will be in love.

Summer is the perfect time to eat more casually. If there is any daylight left after you head home from work, you want to spend it outdoors. You could grill everything to assemble this triple-decker sandwich outside and even fry your egg and bacon inside a little piece of aluminum foil out on the grill. Instead of toasting your bread you could grill your bread. As a matter of fact, this sound like the perfect camper's gourmet meal.

I think some avocado and alfalfa sprouts would be lovely in this sandwich too but that is from a mom's perspective. My boys are meat lovers, but I love the vegetables. You could make this whole triple-decker sammie vegan by substituting the grilled chicken and meats with grilled tofu and vegetables.

I hope you have just as much fun creating your Three-Decker Sammie as we did. Take time and cook with your kids as the time you spend together is so precious.
