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.
