Today's
families are busier than ever. Often both parents work outside
the home. The children are involved in sports, school activities
take up time, most are involved in church activities, the list
could go on and on. Here are some sandwich recipes for those
busy days. Keep some fresh veggies or fruit on hand to serve
with sandwiches. The Beans and Burgers recipe is for hot sandwiches,
cooked in the microwave in minutes. If you prefer a cold sandwich,
the Hoagies below are great sandwiches.

SANDWICHES
1 lb lean ground beef chuck
1 can (16-oz) home-style pork and beans

Crumble the beef into a 3-quart
casserole dish. Add pork and beans, salt, garlic powder and bell
pepper. Stir just to blend the ingredients. Cover. Place in the
microwave and cook on high for about 15 minutes, stirring after
9 or 10 minutes. Serve over open buns for an open-faced style
sandwich. Serve with carrot and/or celery sticks.
HAM AND PROVOLONE HOAGIES
1 lb ham slices
6 romaine lettuce leaves
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
12 slices dill pickle
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
6 slices Provolone cheese
6 hoagie buns, sliced horizontally
In a small bowl, whisk together
the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Place the hoagie bun bottom
halves on cutting board or flat surface. On top of the bun bottoms
layer in the following order; lettuce leaves, ham, red onions,
pickle, and tomato. Sprinkle the oil and vinegar mixture over
the sandwich and top with Provolone cheese slices. Place bun
tops over the cheese and wrap sandwiches, individually, tightly
in foil. Refrigerate 10 minutes or up to 4 hours. Slice each
sandwich in half before serving.
