Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

This is one of the best sandwich recipes ever! I've been making it for over 10 years and every time I've served it, people devour it. It's hard to believe that something so simple could be so tasty. I absolutely love this sandwich.

This sandwich has been a favorite of our family since the June-July 1998 issue of TOH came out. We have 6 children, now ages 27-15, & every one of them chose this for their birthday meal for many years in a row. This year, it was chosen for our Christmas Eve meal! The only change I make to the recipe is to use french instead of Italian bread. So very good!

I found this recipe years ago in my TOH magazine and made it for a party. It was such a hit!! I have made it for countless goodie days at work and for parties at my home. It is requested often and people always want the recipe. Sometimes I switch out one of the meats for turkey (usually the ham), but it's great just as instructed. Highly recommend.

Really yummy. And the best thing about it, apart from its taste, of course, is being able to prepare it in advance.

My friend made this and based on the ingredients together I would have never made but loved it! I just made it "for a crowd" and it went over very well!

I was looking for something different in a sandwich recipe and came across this. Easy to make and delicious! Great for parties. Nice to make on a hot day when you don't want to cook in the oven or on the grill.

Very quick & easy to make; it has been a favorite recipe for birthdays with our six children since I first found the recipe in TOH many years ago! We've taken it on countless picnics, car trips, potlucks, & family gatherings & it has always been a hit. Our kids like it also with ranch dressing mixed with the spread.
