French Dip Sandwich
Sandwich recipes are so much fun. One of my favorite sandwich recipes is a recipe that my mom used to make us after long road trips which is a Ham and Cheese Slider. They are easy to make ahead and freeze. Jalapeno Popper and Bacon Grilled Cheese is a sandwich that is out of this world, amazing.
Things I love about this French Dip Recipe:
- This recipe is a family favorite.
- The wonderful aroma fills the house.
- It’s so satisfying to know that you can literally open up a roll, add some meat, and a slice of cheese, and just dig in
