A tried-and-true classic American sandwich gets a tasty new twist in this Great American Old Fashioned Sandwich recipe.
Sandwich..what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that word? PB&J’s? Ham and Cheese? BLT? Sure, those are the tried-and-true classics, but there are so many other ways to enjoy this classic lunch item, one of which I want to share with you!
And for even more delicious sandwich ideas check out the LINKY at the bottom for a great selection of Good Cook Kitchen Expert sandwich recipes! But first…
As part of the Good Cook Kitchen Experts program, I received this handy Good Cook Ultimate Sandwich Kit which comes with everything you need to make your masterpiece! And it was perfect for making my husband’s favorite sandwich, The Great American Old Fashioned!
GOOD COOK KITCHEN TOOLS
Each Good Cook Ultimate Sandwich Kit comes with a set of 4, mini–Flexible Cutting Mats which are perfect for using for multi-ingredient recipes; no more having to wash the cutting board each time you need it for a different ingredient!
The handy Slice Precise helps you cut tomatoes, onions and more into perfectly even slices. A classic Cheese Slicer is also included for cutting thin slices off a block of cheese.
With the incredibly Good Cook 5″ Non-Stick Sandwich Knife you can easily and evenly spread condiments thanks to its wide blade, and the serrated blade slices easily through bread, tomatoes and more!
Plus, you don’t have to worry about breadcrumbs sticking to it as it is covered with a non-stick coating!
Once you use all these tools to make the perfect sandwich, store it in the extra big Deluxe Sandwich Keeper, which is made of durable, dishwasher-safe plastic and is big enough to hold a triple-decker sandwich!
Now for my husband’s favorite sandwich…
