With just a little creativity you can turn a boring ol’ sandwich into a luncheon special!
Simply by choosing the makins of your favorite sandwich, then dice it up, add in the condiments and then choosing a favorite bread-style for serving ~ making your lunch just a little more special.
In our home we enjoy the flavors of an italian sub ~ so we chose the luncheon meats accordingly for our ‘luncheon special‘ ~ but really any luncheon meats will do.
Change the seasoning, change the toppings, change the condiments, and even change the type of bread…. serve it cold or heat it up. How about a fun party dip?…anything goes.
We served our ‘luncheon special’ onto slider buns with sliced lettuce and tomato.
I even caught the hubby with a spoon hanging out at the fridge after hours for a dip into this fun ‘luncheon special‘, ….it’s a keeper, recipe below.
