cheddar cheese – Bounded by Buns

It’s beefy. It’s bacony. And it’s cheesy just like you.

In the second of my two part Schlotzsky’s series I made a cheesy and slightly spicy variant on their sourdough rolls that’s stuffed with a bunch of meat and melty, smoky cheese. This is my beef bacon smokecheesy.

The sandwich that built a chain

Here’s my version of The Original sandwich from Schlotzsky’s Deli. We’re talking about a ham, salami, melty cheese and veggie sandwich inside of a homemade sourdough roll and I’m going to give you the tools to make it yourself.

Carnitas de bagelero

Today we talk about the bagel maker’s pork carnitas, or more specifically, the restaurant that buys the bagel maker’s bagels and then turns them into a slightly spicy, and creamy pork sandwich.

Spooning soup into flaky pastry

Pop-Tarts are pushing the envelope with a new flavor, but we can do better. How’s about we pair a buttery and flakey, addictive crust with just a touch of warm soup?

Ring the Bell for this Beefer

How hard can it be to turn the Taco Bell experience from a sandwich into a taco and then back into a sandwich? This is the Bell Beefer.

back from the dead beef

We have the meats! And also 3 cheeses.

This beefy, bacony, and cheesy sandwich just happens to be Good Mood Food.

maximum effort pork belly

Cheesy pork belly panini

This cheesy pork sandwich might be high effort, because everything is made from scratch. But I have store-bought shortcuts for each component if you want to cut a corner or two.
