Super Bowl Sunday Sandwiches

January 25, 2014 by Tonja 1 Comment

We are having friends over for the Superbowl this year and in the past I’ve made lot’s of variations of Buffalo Chicken (which you can find on my website).  This year I’m trying out two new sandwiches— Your guests will love these!

The first is a Chicago Style Italian Beef and Sausage Combo.  It’s done in a crockpot so can stay heated and ready for your guests all night.  Get really good hoagie buns and a really good jar of giardiniera.

The Second are Spicy Jalapeno Philly Cheese Steak Sliders.  This is a perfect game day sandwich and I’ve finally found my favorite use for pretzel buns.  If you don’t want spicy, use a regular cream cheese.  And definitely have your butcher pre-slice this meat.  It makes assembly a cinch.

Have fun and enjoy these sandwiches anytime!
