Barbecue Beef Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker

Using a slow cooker  is a handy way to serve a crowd on a football Saturday and something you can make ahead of time and reheat.  My recipe for Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken are other good recipes to make in a slow cooker.

Mom’s Sloppy Joes with Onion Straws

My three siblings and I grew up with this sandwich which we thought was pretty good.  Now, I would kick it up a little with some onions and different seasonings.  But for kids this is a good choice – very simple and it sure smells good when it is cooking!  Guy Fieri has a recipe I would … Continue reading

Chicken Fajitas Wraps

Fajitas always make a good sandwich any time during the year.  Three main ingredients make up this tasty wrap;  meat, onions and peppers.  The big difference is the type of meat, what you marinate the meat and vegetables in, for how long and the toppings you serve with it.  Also see my recipe Rajas Con Crema for a … Continue reading
