Sandwiches are super popular not just because they’re easy. Sandwiches are also delicious, and you can get a full meal from just one sandwich. A sandwich can have meat, but you can also make sandwiches that are plant-based. The key to the perfect sandwich is high-quality bread and fresh ingredients.
That’s why sandwich recipes can be a great go-to option because they’re easy to make but taste great!
Now, if you’re thinking a sandwich is just some bread, meat, and cheese then you got another thing coming to you!
Good sandwiches can be made in a ton of different styles too! That’s why they are great because they’ll never get old.
Egg salad has been around for generations and it’s not going away anytime soon. Making an egg salad sandwich really helps you understand just how many variations of a sandwich there are.
With the eggs hard boiled and then crushed into a mixture of mayo, relish, and salt, you’ll be fine to make a large batch and eat on it throughout the week.
A pro tip is to add the yolks to your egg whites when making your egg salad. Having them both creates a perfect balance of creamy yolk texture with the egg white flavor.
Apple and peanut butter go together like peas in a pod and if you throw a little granola on top you have a sandwich you didn’t even know you could make.
You can bust these out any time you need a quick snack or healthy meal. You can even throw some Nutella on instead of peanut butter to make them extra rich.
The kids will love them and they’re perfect for any adult looking to manage their sweets.
Ham and cheese sandwiches have come a long way since white bread and American cheese were the go-to choice.
These days, you can really whip up a delicious tasting ham and cheese with quality ingredients that put it on par with some of the other, fancier sandwiches.
This recipe calls for the dish to be made almost like a casserole and then you’ll cut out some sandwich pieces.
It’s the perfect choice for a family that needs to make a ton that the kids can pick from throughout the week.
Chickpeas are great for anyone who’s vegan but still wants to get the same great taste as other sandwiches on this list.
They mix well with a variety of flavors and ingredients so you can really mix up your chickpea salad sandwich and still end up with something you love.
Mashed up altogether and you and your guests might not even realize it wasn’t chicken salad.
The classic tuna melt really does help you remember times when you were a kid and mom made one right off the stove.
Even if you don’t like tuna all that much, you’ll still be able to appreciate it mixed in with some cheese and toasted bread with a load of other ingredients.
It’s basically a tuna salad on toasted bread with melted cheese.
You’re already eating your spaghetti with a crunchy and buttered garlic bread so why not get another piece of bread and create your own spaghetti sandwich?
It tastes just as good as it sounds and if garlic bread is a little much, you could use any kind you like.
Throw in some cheese on top and you’ll have the perfect winter sandwich ready.
Sloppy Joes is one of those family staples that will never get replaced. There is something very nostalgic about biting into a mess of sauce and beef on a hamburger bun.
Service some classic potato chips or even a pasta salad to really bring back the memories.
You can also really trick the kids on this one by adding in a ton of spinach or other veggies with your sloppy joes.
They won’t care about any veggies because the meat filling will overpower everything with its flavor.
Just make sure to bring a lot of napkins with this one. It’s called sloppy for a reason.
The hearty meatball sub is a classic sandwich to have when the weather starts dropping and it gets a little old outside.
The warm and delicious meatballs are covered in Italian seasoning while gooey melted cheese holds it all together.
You’ll need a big hoagie roll to put it all on top of, but toss it in the oven for a little bit. You’ll love how the crunchy bread texture mixes with the soft and tender meatballs with sauce.
Pro tip: slice the meatballs in two so that they lay better in the sandwich.
There are few things more simple than a great BLT.
Bacon, lettuce, tomato, bread, and mayo all combine together to give the perfect mix of savory and fresh ingredients.
The sandwich might seem a little light unless you opt for that thick-cut slice of bacon that will really help bring out the flavors. Also, don’t be afraid to throw a little avocado into the mix too.
If you really want to make it fancy, throw on some pork belly to your BLT instead of bacon and wallow in the satiating flavors.
You can also mix up your ice cream sandwich any way you want by adding different flavored ice creams or using different kinds of cookies for the tops and bottoms.
