MONTE CRISTO CASSEROLE

I got this recipe from my cousin Brandy who got it from food.com.  The woman who wrote it said she developed the recipe because of her son's love for the Monte Cristo sandwich at Disneyland's Blue BayouDisneyland's Blue Bayou is where I originally fell in love with this sandwich also, but in her recipe she changed the red raspberry jam that the Blue Bayou served to strawberries and added parsley.  I'm taking it back to as close to original as I can by deleting the parsley and reverting to red raspberry jam.
