Wimpys aka Sloppy Joes

December 19, 2011 by Tiffany

When I was growing up, my family always called sandwiches like this Wimpys. I’m not sure how old I was when I figured out that everyone else calls the Sloppy Joes.

When I made these, my intention was to just use a can of Manwich. But I couldn’t find it anywhere in the grocery. I looked in all the logical places, but no Manwich.

So, I decided to make some homemade. This recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes. Her recipe has ketchup and carrots. I used chili sauce and red peppers. Mine also has more meat, but I liked her base of seasonings although I skipped a few of the herbs and spices. Change this up for your tastes and pantry.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Reuben Sliders on Pretzel Rolls

November 10, 2011 by Tiffany

Reuben sandwiches are a combination of a lot of strong flavors:

Corned beef or pastrami
Sauerkraut
Swiss cheese
Rye Bread
Thousand Island dressing

I happen to like all but one of those tastes, but I made several variations to come up with these sliders.

These are a tiny take on the original Reuben sandwich. As soon as I saw Sister Schubert’s Soft Pretzel Rolls, I knew they would make perfect little Reubens. I didn’t miss the rye bread at all.

We ate these as part of lunch after church. They’re super quick to put together. The pretzel rolls are frozen, but only take a few minutes in the oven and they are warm and soft. We love all kinds of bread and I really like being able to keep these rolls on hand in the freezer and still be able to have them on the table quickly.

I do admit that my kids opted out of having sauerkraut on theirs. That’s okay. It’s easy to alter sandwiches for each person’s tastes.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them: [Read more...]

Toasted Apple and Brie Sandwiches on Cinnamon Swirl Bread

September 30, 2011 by Tiffany

This simple sandwich proved to be one of the best meals I’ve had all year. Thin slices of Granny Smith apple and brie, tucked inside cinnamon swirl bread then toasted. Divine!

This idea is not my own, but I can’t remember where I first saw it. It’s been quite a while, maybe even a year ago. [Read more...]

Not Your Ordinary Ham and Cheese Sandwich

June 17, 2011 by Tiffany

There’s something about church that makes everyone positively ravenous. I can’t seem to get lunch on fast enough on Sundays.

Last week, I made these sandwiches. The ham slices were pre-cut from the grocery, sold in the meat department. I fried them on the griddle (because the gas grill was out of gas). I topped the ham with thick slices of Monterey Jack cheese, sauteed onions and mild banana pepper rings.

What’s the best sandwich you’ve had lately?

French Dip Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker

December 3, 2010 by Tiffany

4 ingredients (6 if you count the cheese and buns) + 1 slow cooker = 1 splendiferous dinner. And, in case you wondered, splendiferous is in the online thesaurus. It’s a more funtastic word than “good”, don’t you think?

I used cube steaks to make these sandwiches, but you can use round steak or another cut if you like. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Grilled Sandwiches

July 21, 2010 by Tiffany

Have I mentioned how much I love our new grill? Oh yeah, I think I have.

The other day I was reading a post on The Happy Housewife about a panini party. That sounded good, but I don’t have a panini grill. I usually use the George Foreman, but this time I thought it would be fun to grill the sandwiches outside.

Chicken Gyros

June 9, 2010 by Tiffany

There’s something about pita pockets that my kids love, so I had a feeling that this recipe would be a hit. I was right. A friend shared the recipe with me back in the winter when I was looking for meals to stock my freezer. I decided this one would be great to take on vacation. After marinating and cooking the chicken, it is frozen in Ziploc bags. Reheating can be done in the microwave. I served a quick cucumber and yogurt sauce with the sandwiches.

Update: This recipe comes from Cooking Among Friends, which is a freezer meal cooking club. So cool! They have a cookbook available and the Chicken Gyros is part of that. I’m guessing this would be a great cookbook to own. A friend had passed along the Chicken Gyros recipe and I just found out the original source. Pop over and check out more from Cooking Among Friends!

That 70s Sandwich – Fried Baloney, Cheese Sandwich, Deviled Ham

May 25, 2010 by Tiffany

The other day I got to thinking about sandwiches that I ate growing up. I decided it might be fun to make up a bunch of them and try them again. Somewhere along the way I stopped eating this kind of food.

The title of the post is a bit deceiving, because I’m sure all of these sandwiches have been around long before the 70s. But since that’s when I remember eating them, and because I think the title sounds cool, I’m sticking with it.

Tamale Sandwiches on Cornbread

April 6, 2010 by Tiffany

You’re going to need a fork for these sandwiches. They are a different take on pork bbq, using Mexican inspired flavors. I found a recipe in the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook called Spicy Pork Buns. The authors of the book explained that they wanted to create a sandwich that has the flavor combination of tamales. That sounded like a good idea to me.

I altered the recipe in several ways. First, they put the meat mixture into a yeast type cornbread and baked it with the bread dough wrapped around the meat. That sounds awesome to eat and time consuming to make, so I decided to use my cornbread recipe instead and serve the meat over the top. I also made a lot more meat and changed the filling ingredients a bit. [Read more...]

Easy Meatball Subs

March 3, 2010 by Tiffany

I’m not sure why I never thought of doing this before. It was so quick and simple. My boys were very happy and the rest of us liked the subs too. I used frozen meatballs and a jar of spaghetti sauce, so it just can’t get any easier. Perfect for a busy night. [Read more...]
