10 Tasty Hot Sandwiches for the Superbowl

 

This Sunday evening is the Superbowl LIX. Yes, the 59th Super Bowl is going to be aired on the television with the game being played between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs!  

I am not a person who watches American football regularly, but I do enjoy the Superbowl along with all of the excitement, the brilliant ads and of course that entertaining half time show!

Traditionally it is a time for people to get together with family and friends and enjoy the game together along with a few drinks and some tasty food.  Finger food and snacks being the priority!  

Chicken Wings are a very popular snack to munch on, along with dips and chips. Pizza is also a favorite.  Depending on your crowd, you may want to serve some hot sandwiches.  

Today I have curated a selection of tasty hot sandwiches that you might enjoy serving to your crowd during the game!  All of them are delicious. All of them are easy to make. Most of them can be thrown together ahead of time and then just heated up prior to the game.

One thing is certain, there is something here for everyone to enjoy! If I had to pick a favorite, I just couldn't!  Each one is delicious in its own right.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES - You can't beat the ease of a hot sandwich where you put the ingredients for the filling into the crockpot in the morning and let them slow cook all day until they melt in the mouth. These are delicious, with buttery toasted buns, melt in the mouth beef, which has been spiced beautifully with the juice and flavor of the pepperoncini, the sweetness of the caramelized onions and that melty cheese.  Each mouthful holds a burst of delicious flavors that I just know you will also enjoy! 

All you need on the side is perhaps some crisp veggies and a big bowl of potato chips! Ain't nobody going to turn down one of these delicious sandwiches.  Easy to adapt to feed any number of folks!

AIR FRYER FRENCH BREAD PIZZA - These French bread pizzas go together quickly and easily and are cooked simply in the air fryer. No air fryer, no problem!  Cook them in a hot oven! To me, great pizza of any kind is down to the sauce and I include a fabulous recipe for my own homemade pizza sauce.

Layered onto slices of French bread which have been spread with garlic butter, and topped with plenty of cheese and pepperoni, they are then cooked to crispy edged perfection in the air fryer.  These always go down a real treat!

HOT HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH WITH BACON & CARAMELIZED ONIONS - Fresh poppyseed Kaiser rolls brushed with a honey mustard butter and filled with plenty of deli ham, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and crispy bacon! Amounts are for one sandwich but are easily multiplied to make as many as you have guests!

These really are very easy to make. Probably the most time-consuming part is the caramelizing of the onions. If you are not keen you can always leave them out, but I highly recommend you do make them as they really add to the deliciousness of this tasty sandwich! 

CROISSANT REUBEN SANDWICH - There is nothing I enjoy more than a Reuben Sandwich and this juicy homemade Reuben Sandwich recipe, using flaky and buttery croissants is a real winner! 

Crispy flaky buttery croissants, filled with tangy crisp sauerkraut and a homemade slightly spicy dressing, hot juicy meat and oodles of melted cheese.  This is everything a good Reuben Sandwich should be. Prepare to fall in love with this fantastic hot sandwich!  Yum! Yum!

SOUTH CAROLINA BIRD DOG SANDWICHES -  This delicious sandwich is the perfect marriage of bacon, chicken tenders, cheese and honey mustard.  Or, as I have also seen it described, the perfect option for those who don't like hot dogs! I can't imagine not liking hotdogs myself, but it takes all kinds!

The original sandwich comes from a restaurant in Anderson, South Carolina called Daddy Rabbitt's over 25 years ago. That original diner is no longer in operation, but the sandwich lives on!

HOT ITALIAN HOAGIES -  I wish I could tell you how many times I have made these delicious hot sandwiches.  They were something I used to make for the Missionaries when they would come for supper in the U.K. A little taste of home.

They are quick and very simple to make. As easy as layering simple ingredients into split fresh buns and baking in the oven.  The sub buns are spread with a parmesan garlic butter before laying with a selection of Italian Cold Cuts, spicy pickles and some cheese.  Baked in the oven until everything is heated through and the cheese all melty, nothing goes down better!  These are quite simply fabulous!

BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICH - Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are browned lightly and then poached in a BBQ sauce mixture that you create. Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, you shred the chicken and cook it for a bit longer in the sauce.  This can be done early in the day and kept warm, or refrigerated and heated up when you want to serve them.

That delicious, shredded BBQ Chicken is layered in toasty buns along with a fabulously tasty homemade coleslaw. Altogether these sandwiches are incredibly moreish. I would rather have this tasty chicken sandwich than pulled pork and that's no word of a lie!

THE CUBANO SANDWICH - Thinly sliced roast pork and deli ham, layered in a ciabatta roll (or Cuban bread if you can get it) with sour pickles, mustard and cheese.  Grilled to toasty perfection.

You can make as many or as few of these as you like. They are really very simple to make. I use my Cuisinart Gridler Indoor Griddle to toast them to perfection. 

HOT DOGS WITH CHILI DOG SAUCE -  The star here is that chili sauce. Rich and meaty with just the right amount of spice. A meat only, unadulterated, chili sauce, meant to be eaten on Chili dogs.

This simple recipe makes about 4 cups of the sauce, but no worries it freezes very well. Delicious served over grilled hot dogs in soft buns along with your favorite chili dog toppings. I opted for cheese and chopped raw onion here. Delicious!

BAKED HOT DOGS -  I have saved the best for last!  This is my absolute favorite hot sandwich, and not the least because they are very simple to make. It is also a very easy recipe to multiply to feed a crowd!

Hot dog buns are split and filled with your favorite hot dog fillings, mustard, relish, onions, ketchup (if you must) and then topped with frankfurters. Placed into a large baking dish, a good quality canned chili is spooned over top along with a generous layer of grated cheese. Finally a layer of crispy fried onions is sprinkled over the cheese.

 They are covered and baked to hot, toasty, melty, cheesy perfection! I uncover then during the last five minutes of baking to really toast them up. There is no other word to describe these other than amazing! Everyone always LOVES them!

And there you have it 10 deliciously tasty hot sandwiches to serve to your crew during the Super Bowl on Sunday. Whichever one you choose, I guarantee people will be more than happy with what is on offer!  Have a great time and enjoy the game!
