Published in Lake Wedowee Life: Sandwich Recipes

Published in the April issue of Lake Wedowee Life magazine.

A sandwich seems to be a go to choice when you are in a hurry or there is nothing really appetizing in the fridge to cook. However, there are tons of recipe books dedicated to sandwiches and cooking shows as well. Over the years people have altered and created amazing recipes that seem turn into culinary masterpieces. Here in the Lake Wedowee Life kitchen a sandwich seems to show up several times a week for lunch, so we decided to share some of our favorite recipes with you. If you decide to make one of our creations take a photo and send it to us so we can share! We hope you enjoy!

Redneck Reuben

By Mary Lee Caldwell

There was a deli in Troy that featured the Redneck Rueben and I knew it was awesome after one bite.  I added bacon when I made it for the Lake Wedowee Life crew because let’s face it… Everything is better with Bacon! This recipe is for one sandwich. Enjoy!

2 Slices of Sourdough bread

2 T of Thousand Island Salad Dressing

1 Slice of Provolone Cheese

2 Slices of Tomato

3 Slices of Cooked Bacon

One Scoop of Coleslaw

4-6 Slices of Deli-Cut Turkey

Toast bread. Spread salad dressing on both slices of bread. Layer one slice of bread with cheese, tomato, and bacon. Layer other side with coleslaw and turkey. Close sandwich, grab a napkin (you are going to need one) and enjoy!

Just Whatever Wraps

By Leisel Caldwell

One of our favorite lunch options and super low maintenance to cook are the Just Whatever Wraps. Throw some chicken in the crock-pot along with your favorite jar of salsa. Use around 4 pieces Let it cook on low for about 4 hours. Shred the chicken with a fork (should be falling apart ). We like to use spinach tortillas from WM Grocery,  then we put whatever is in the fridge in our  wraps. 

Alabama White BBQ Sauce

Why have I never heard of Alabama White Sauce? Someone suggested that I try it and WOW!  It is amazing...and simple to make. I used chicken and my favorite  yeast rolls I get from WM Grocery to make these yummy BBQ Chicken sliders. Here is the white sauce recipe:

2 cups mayonnaise ( I prefer Duke’s)

1 1/2 T salt

2 T black pepper

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

4 T white sugar

Mix well in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight.

1 English Muffin

1 slice cheddar cheese

Bacon

Cut English Muffin in half and toast with cheese. Cook egg and bacon. Assemble sandwich and enjoy.

Condiments

By Amanda Causey

You can’t have a sandwich without a little something to spread on them. I found a few condiments that sounded interesting and wanted to give them a try. All three of these are so easy and amazing! They will now become staples whenever I need a little something extra!

Bloody Mary Ketchup Mix 3/4  cup ketchup, 1/4 cup horseradish, 2 teaspoons hot sauce, 1 teaspoon celery salt and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

Roasted Garlic Mustard Wrap 8 cloves garlic in foil; roast 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and puree with 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and salt and pepper.

Basil Mayonnaise 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons basil pesto (basil, olive oil and garlic)

Strawberry Dessert Sandwich

By Amanda Causey

This is a super sweet treat that is easy to make. It’s always a favorite with the kids and adults with a sweet tooth.

Glazed donuts
1 pound of strawberries, sliced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 T lime juice
1 cup whipped topping
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup strawberry preserves

Place strawberries, lime juice, and sugar in a bowl and mix to coat. Let sit in fridge for 2 hours. Using a mixer combine whipped topping powdered sugar and jam. Whip until stiff peaks start to form. Slice the donut in half…like a bagel. Place the bottom down and add a dollop of the whipped cream. Then add some strawberries and top with the top part of the donut.
