Barbecue Beef Cheese Melts

I will admit up front that I wasn't the biggest fan of this recipe - but it definitely has potential to be a lot better. I really liked the roast beef mixture on top but the bread mixture on the bottom was too thick for my liking. It was almost like eating an American version of a Navajo Taco - and I have never been a fan of those. For my taste buds I would prefer a more thin and crispy crust. In fact, next time I make this I will either make this into a pizza or use a pre-refrigerated pizza crust to line the bottom of my pan.
