I still do once a month cooking with friends, and now that we’re entering grilling season, we are switching from oven items to grilling items. I found a good recipe for a giant grilled sandwich, made some modifications, and came out with a winning recipe I thought I would share. The best part of this recipe is that it can be made and frozen a head of time. Take it out when you’re in a hurry or have a busy night at softball or at the lake.

Grilled (Loaded) Sandwich Recipe

Long loaf of French bread

Mix 2 TBLS of butter, 2 TBLS cream cheese, 1 TBLS mayo, dash of black pepper, 1 tsp parsley, and one finely chopped green onion. Set aside to flavor.

9 oz sliced ham (turkey would work too)

3 slices provolone cheese

Fresh mushrooms washed and sliced

Fresh spinach washed and dried

Cut the loaf of bread the long way. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the top and bottom of the bread. Layer ham, cheese, spinach, and mushrooms over the bread. Wrap tightly in foil and grill until hot. Otherwise, freeze until needed.

Do you have a great grilling recipe you’d be willing to share?
