Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

April 16, 2020 by

In case you haven’t made those hoagie buns yet… this is the perfect reason to! I’ve tried making this in the instant pot as well but honestly it really is better in the slow cooker. Some things are just better cooked low and slow. I think roast is one of those things. Besides, then your house will smell amazing all day!

If you don’t have star anise you can leave it out but add it if you can! I promise it won’t make the broth taste like licorice. But it will make it delicious! By the end of the meal everyone is usually drinking the broth, it’s so good!

Sometimes I serve these with pickled pepper rings or pepperoncinis as well.

Panini Club

May 20, 2011 by
 
Okay, so this isn’t a club sandwich.  But.. close enough. : )  It does have ham, bacon, and tomato which you do usually find in a club sandwich at least.  We had a gorgeous sunny day today so I’m in the mood for sandwiches!  One of our favorite good-weather dinners.  And paninis definetely make it feel like a little more thought was put in even if it wasn’t ; )
We don’t usually use plain mayo in sandwiches either.  I usually mix in some pesto or freshly chopped rosemary to some mayo and keep that in the fridge for sandwiches.  So much better!
 
PANINI CLUB
 
Ciabatta, or other good quality crusty bread
Mayonnaise
Ham
Avocado, sliced
Bacon, cooked crisp
Tomato, sliced
Red onion, thinly sliced
 
Slice bread, spread two sliced with mayo.
Top one with remaining ingredients and the remaining slice of bread.
Cook in a panini press*.
*Other options: Cook sandwiches in a heavy (preferably cast iron) skillet- top sandwiches with another heavy skillet to press them down as they cook. Flip and cook the other side the same.
You could also use this method in a grill pan.

Ham and Swiss Rolls

August 23, 2010 by
 
These were seriously good.  Like I can’t believe how many my husband ate good.  And they came with the extra bonus of being super easy as well.  Great for those busy days getting ready for school! Or homeschooling, in my case.  Which can I just say, is keeping me REALLY busy!  But I wouldn’t have it any other way.   Whatever you’re doing these last days of summer, make sure to fit these onto your menu.
 
HAM AND SWISS ROLLS
Recipe slightly adapted from Annie’s Eats
 
12 dinner rolls
1 to 2 lbs ham (depends on how much meat you like in yours)
12 slices swiss cheese
mayonnaise
 
Sauce:
1 T yellow mustard
6 T butter, melted
2 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp Worcestershire
poppy seeds, for sprinkling
 
Cut rolls in half, spread a little mayo on the inside of all the rolls.
Fill rolls with ham, then cheese, then top of roll.
Put all together on a baking sheet.
Whisk all the sauce ingredients except the poppy seeds together in a bowl and drizzle over the rolls.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Remove foil, bake 5 more minutes.
Serve warm.

Oven Sandwiches

July 2, 2010 by
 
 
I made these for my now hubby for a picnic when we were dating.  He downed quite a few very quickly, and they still remain one of his favorite dishes (along with the rest of us!)  If you have any picnics planned for this weekend, this is the perfect thing. You can make them ahead of time, and throw in the oven while you get everything else ready. When they’re done, throw them in your picnic basket, just wrap with a tea towel to help them stay warm. They stay warm for awhile that way. Enjoy, and Happy Independence Day!!!
 
OVEN SANDWICHES
 
1 loaf french bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp Johny’s Garlic Seasoning
Deli ham or honey ham (I use about 1 lb)
Mozzarella or Swiss Cheese, sliced
1 or 2 Zucchini, sliced
bacon, cooked
tomato, sliced (optional)
 
Slice bread , about 1/2 to 1 inch thick slices.
Mix butter and Garlic seasoning together.
Spread on one side of each slice of bread (this will be on the inside of the sandwiches.)
Layer on ham, zucchini, bacon and cheese on half of the bread slices and top with remaining bread slices.
Wrap each sandwich in foil, bake at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, until bread is lightly toasty and cheese is melted.
If desired, add tomatoes after baked.
(You could also add them before baking, but I prefer adding them later.)
