Western Sandwich

How to make Western Sandwich Recipe - This is often called a Denver sandwich. It was invented by pioneers to salvage eggs that would get "high" after a long haul over hot trails. Today, we still make the sandwich, but we prefer to use fresh eggs.

Ingredients:
1/4 pound ham or 4 bacon slices, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
