We can thank Edward Montagu for inventing the sandwich. The basic recipe for a sandwich is easy – take two pieces of bread and put something inside. They can be fancy, simple, hot, cold …anything goes! Typically they’re thought of as something to pack in a brown bag for lunch. A hearty sandwich, though, is a great dinner option. If you’re looking to serve something different for dinner try one of these 20 satisfying sandwich recipes.
