Having a sandwich for a meal may sound basic, but sometimes a good sandwich can hit the spot. Packed with an assortment of flavors and ingredients, these hearty sandwich recipes can be a filling dinner or a simple lunch. While delicious, we’re not talking peanut butter and jelly. Think spicy chicken sandwiches, ham and beef sliders, chicken salad, French dip, breaded pork tenderloin, pulled pork, sloppy joes, and more.
Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
“A blast from the past. Tender pork tenderloin pounded thin and breaded in Corn Flake crumbs and fried to a golden brown. If any of you know anything about Indiana this is one of the state’s signature sandwiches. This is how my mom used to make them.” – Julia

Surf and Turf Po’Boys
“Surf and Turf Po’Boys are hearty, spicy, and dripping with gravy and jalapeno mayo. It’s perfect with the tender shrimp and hearty roast beef. ” – Debbie
Stromboli Joes
“Another great recipe from Bunko this past week. It is typically made on Italian bread but since my husband doesn’t care for that kind of bread, I made him some on regular hamburger buns. This is so good and makes several. It was a great meal for 12 women.” – Stephanie
Beef Stroganoff Sandwiches
“This beef stroganoff sandwich recipe is delicious. My family loves it!” – Peggy

Touchdown Sammies
“This recipe is so simple and tasty and lets you enjoy the game instead of being chained to the kitchen. Make it your own with slider, onion (my preference), sourdough, or rye buns.
