Baked Sandwich
I was having a very informal luncheon for some of my oldest friends recently and a couple of them ask if I would make my Baked Sandwich. I thought that was a great idea, and then I decided to share it with all of you. The Baked Sandwich is often times requested from family and friends as one of their favorites. It is a great dish to make for a small gathering, it can be made the day before and cooked right before the guest arrive, it is a hot dish to serve that you don't have to be in the kitchen with, but rather can be spending time with your guest. One of the nice features to this sandwich is that you can freeze it up to 3 months, just reheat it and it's as good as freshly made. I will often times freeze it in individual portions, for those times when just one or two people need a quick lunch.
I enjoyed having lunch with you today and am so happy you could join us. If you are making this recipe for a small gathering or for a couple of people I sure hope you enjoy it. Have a great week and come back to see us real soon!
Peace and Joy

This looks incredible! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. Is the 2 cups of soup measured as the thick condensed right out of the can, or thinned with the usual amount of milk?
ReplyDeleteHi Gail,
DeleteI did not use milk to thin the soup, I just heat it straight from the can. Sure hope you enjoy the Baked Sandwich and thanks so much for stopping by!
Miz Helen
Thanks so much. I'm sure I (and my friends) will enjoy this sandwich a lot!

What a luscious recipe. It caught our attention at Weekend Potluck's party and is one of our features this week. Congrats! Thanks so much for sharing your delightful dishes with us. Hope to see you at the party today!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I would be requesting this lunch too if I was coming over :) Pinning!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I know my family will enjoy this when I add it ti next weeks menu. They will be happy with something new.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea. This reminds me of an easier monte cristo. Has anyone tried jelly instead of the soup? I'm thinking of paring this with a mimosa for brunch bliss.
ReplyDeleteThese were great everyone loved it. The only thing I did different was make homemade tomato soup. And we topped it with that. Definitely a keeper
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
DeleteI am so happy that you and your family loved the Baked Sandwich. Your Homemade Tomato Soup sounds like a wonderful addition, I will have to try that. Thanks so much for sharing and stopping by!
Miz Helen
This is a good idea with the soup! There is another recipe for hosting called the Italian Bake and it is the same only you also use salami and I think roasted red peppers and no soup. Was very good but next time I'd use mozzarella on that one! Will try this soon! Thanks
