Your best sandwich recipe to take to work for lunch?

I start work at 8am but have to leave around 645am. I love sandwiches but am getting sick of the same old same old. I need fresh ideas that have ingredients that are not too expensive or hard to find and will keep well in the fridge until lunch. Oh and they would have to be prepared the night before. or at least semi-prepared.

Canned meat works really well when u drain it, mix it with mayo, relish, and anything else u like. There is chicken, turkey, ham. My kids like bologna salad-grind it up with mayo, relish, onion, etc.


Roast beef salad-crock pot it over night and grind with same as above and if u like horseradish add some of that to the mix.


One tip-put the salad into a separate container from the bread, as the bread will get soggy-yuck!


Love pastrami on rye or rubens.


I have also had a great portabello mushroom and swiss sand on rye at a panera bread. I think it had avocado to go with it-it was grilled.


Try changing ur bread choice too. If all u eat is white, switch to some other kinds of breads-it adds a different flavor.
I never realized growing up in Chicago was such a privilege until I began surfing the net and found out that a good portion of the rest of the country had been deprived of tasting a Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwich. Finally, I have found the recipe at Project Weight Loss. You should try it.

I have the same problem... I'm always most satisfied with a sandwich and chips for lunch, but the same old thing. I go from egg salad, chicken salad, tuna, to meat sandwiches. I try to vary the bread, but a lot of the ';hard'; breads I don't care for. It isfun to use croissants sometimes, but they aren't healthy. Pita bread can be nice, too, but just once in awhile.


Good luck!
