This sounds really good. But I agree it needs an overhaul for diabetics. If you look at the nutrient facts you see that the carbs & sugar grams are a little too high for diabetics but you could substitute the white buns for wheat & use diet root beer. Also to cut further back on carbs you could make it an open face sandwich & use half of the bun. I plan on using this for a summer dinner with those modifications. This is loaded with protein too. I will post after I try these modifications with an update on how it turned out.

This would be a lot healthier if you substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of using the rump roast. Just a thought...

So easy and SO good! Added mustard and sliced pickles for a litle extra. Better than eating out any day :)
