Get A Sandwich
Sandwiches have come a long way through the years. They’re the perfect food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, since there are so many variations! From the classic chicken sandwich to cucumber and cheese, the possibilities are endless.
If you’re stuck on what to put between your bread slices today, here are the top 5 types of sandwiches you should try today!
1. Grilled Cheese
Of course, the one and only, grilled cheese. This is the single most popular sandwich in the U.S. Some would argue that it's far too boring to be number one while others could argue that the cheese is what makes the sandwich so unique - and, around the world, many countries would agree with the latter. It seems that every country has its own twist on this classic but when it comes down to it, the American version with plain old American cheese is definitely the most unenthusiastic.
2. Po' Boys
Made with French bread that's crusty on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, the po' boy sandwich is a New Orleans icon. This special sandwich is always served on French bread; however, what's featured on it can vary from roast meat, meatballs, sausage, crab, fried oysters, shrimp, fish or more. With this recipe for Burgundy Po' Boys, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce infuse the meat with considerable oomph during the slow cooking process. When the meat is done cooking, remember to let it cool down long enough to make it easier to touch when shredding with a fork.
3. Chicken Sandwich
Sandwiches are commonly eaten for breakfast – they’re pretty popular. The chicken sandwich is especially well loved, thanks to the fact that it has been deep fried and comes with a bunch of cheese to make it melt in your mouth. Everything from the look of the sandwich to the taste is perfect. You can even add some vegetables in to make it better for your body!
4. Turkey Sandwich
Let's be honest: turkey sandwiches are not the most interesting of sandwiches. Turkey, itself, is not much different than having a plain chicken cutlet on a sandwich but it does go well with most condiments. It's practically a blank slate with the addition of lettuce and tomato, but that's also why so many people like it. It's fresh, neutral, and just an all-around good lunch option, but definitely not interesting.
5. Sloppy Joes
Get some meat, tomatoes and buns, and you're ready to make America's favorite messy sandwich: sloppy joes! But if you enjoy a little more depth when it comes to flavor combinations, bring on some heat with Southwestern Sloppy Joes. Green chilies give this special sandwich a kick. If you're not ready for it, cook a milder version sans chili peppers. The meat mixture features chunks of onion, celery and tomatoes flavored with cumin, brown sugar and other ingredients. Use lean meat that's rich in iron, zinc and B vitamins for maximum nutritional value. Coming in at only 190 calories per serving, this recipe is relatively healthy, feeds a sizeable group and only takes 20 minutes to make, so go ahead invite guests! Serve on whole-wheat buns or your favorite alternative bread.
