How to make some nice snadwiches for the kid's lunch in the school?

Answer 1

Kids love stuff they can make themselves. Buy a few different types of cheeses (sliced and shreded- both freeze well), a few different types of meat, small soft taco shells, english muffins, bagels, pita bread, or regular sliced bread (get a couple different types). Collect little mayo, mustard, and other types of condiments (extra packets from fast food joints work well). Place a few slices of meat or cheese into snack size ziploc bags keeping each type separate. Let the kids pick a meat, cheese, and bread combination of their choice and condiments. You can also fix baggies with pickles, bacon bits, or lettuce slices (whatever your kids like). They will like it because it gives them choices and it reminds them of those cool lunch packs.

Answer 2

first clue to good lunch box sandwiches... do not under any circumstances put tomato on a sandwich that is going to be ina lunch box.

lettuce and mashed egg
ham and cheese
finely sliced celery with lettuce and finely sliced capsicum

or you could not put sandwiches in the lunchbox and create some more interesting things

take a sheet of frozen puff pastry sprinke liberally with cheese, grated ham or salami or bacon or other similar meat, and other goodies that the kids like and cut the pastry sheet into interesting shapes and then bake in the oven... allow to cool and then place them in the lunch box.

take a sheet of puff pastry (or other pastry if you prefer) spread savoury mince (mince fried lightly with onions and other vegies) onto the sheet, roll up and slice into swirls sprinkle cheese on top and bake in oven.

cut up a variety of fresh fruit and seal in an air tight container.

cut up a fresh salad (use little cherry tomatoes rather than sliced tomato) and seal in an air tight container.

Answer 3

Growing up, I LOVED chicken sandwiches. White bread, a little mayo, a chicken breast, pulled into nice size strips (leftover chicken works really well for this), a large piece or two of iceberg lettuce, some salt, and voila! The mayo tastes awesome with the chicken, the iceberg makes it nice and crunchy, and the squishy white bread is perfect. :)

Answer 4

club sandwiches although time intensive are good grilled cheese as well try adding tomatoes and the option of ham to them all of these sandwiches can be prepped ahead of time but admittedly do take time to grill I just had a revelation can this be done in the oven coat each end of bread with butter or more likely in your establishment a liquid butter substitute I my self will try this tomorrow odds are pretty good it wont work but nothing progresses without trying

Sloppy Joes with a Kick
Serves 6-8

These aren’t your store-bought sloppy joes, they’r made from scratch – sort of. I know, “bottled bbq sauce”., “catsup”, “bottled jalapenos” – not 100% scratch but as close as you’re gonna get in less than half-an-hour.

1 & 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 & ¼ cups catsup
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp chopped pickled jalapenos
1 Tbsp liquid from pickled jalapenos(optional)
8 hamburger buns, toasted


Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain off the juice(fat). Return cooked beef to skillet and stir in next 4 ingredients, and, if you're up to it, jalapenos and liquid.

Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve on toasted buns.
