sausage balls

On the weekend, make a batch of chili or stew. If he comes home for lunch you can heat it up in a hurry. BLT's are also super easy, just keep some pre-cooked bacon in the fridge. Grilled Cheese (with tomato, bacon, ham, etc) is always a good choice. If you have a George Foreman grill, grilled cheese can be made in about 5 minutes! (Sorry about the sandwich recomendations....it seems that is what so many men want)
JALAPENO GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES


1/4 cup jalapeno jelly


4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (use leftovers if you have)


1/4 cup apple cider vinegar


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce


4 hamburger buns


Melt jelly in microwave-safe bowl, stir; add apple cider vinegar, salt and Tabasco sauce. Heat one minute on high; stir well. Grill or broil chicken breasts 5 to 6 minutes per side, basting often with jelly and vinegar mixture.


Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato garnish.


Makes 4 sandwiches.





MEATBALL SANDWICHES


SAUCE: (use left over sauce and meatballs)


1/4 c. onions, chopped, or to taste


1 tsp. crushed, bottled garlic OR 2 cloves garlic, minced


1 tbsp. olive oil


1 lb. canned tomatoes, broken up


1 lb. tomato sauce


2 tsp. parsley


2-2 1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste


1 1/2 tsp. oregano


1 tsp. basil


1 lb. ground beef


MEATBALLS:


4 slices bread, whole wheat OR white


1 lb. ground beef


2 eggs


1/2 c. Romano cheese, grated


1 tsp. salt


2 tbsp. parsley, chopped


1/2 tsp. crushed, bottled garlic OR 1 minced clove garlic


1 tsp. oregano, crushed


Dash of pepper


Or preferred frozen meat balls


4 submarine sandwich buns OR sm. loaves French or Italian bread


2 pkg. (4 oz. ea.) Mozzarella cheese


To make sauce, cook and stir onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, salt, oregano and basil. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered 1-1 1/2 hours. when sauce is almost finished simmering, brown ground beef in separate skillet, drain off fat, and stir into sauce. Simmer another 20 minutes.


For meatballs, soak bread in water 3 minutes, then squeeze dry and add the ground beef, eggs, Romano cheese, salt, parsley, garlic, oregano and pepper. Form into 16 meatballs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until done.


To assemble sandwiches, put 4 meatballs in each of the buns or loaves, add sauce, then cheese on top, dividing ingredients evenly. (Don't use too much sauce or sandwiches will be soggy.) Wrap each sandwich in foil and bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts.





FANCY CUCUMBER SANDWICHES


2 medium size cucumbers


1 tub whipped cream cheese spread


shaker of dill weed


1-2 packets of dry Italian dressing mix


1 pkg rye or wheat cocktail bread


Wash cucumbers well. Using a fork, scrape down the cucumbers lengthwise leaving ';stripes'; all the way around. Slice the cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices or thinner. Set aside.


In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and dressing mix; combine well.


Using a butter knife, spread the mixture onto the individual slices of small cocktail bread (cocktail bread might be found in your deli section rather than the bread aisle, it's just a small and dense miniature version of bread).


Don't cake the slices with the mixture, just a thin layer concentrated in the middle of the slice.


Next, lay one slice of cucumber (per slice of bread) in the middle of the bread. Once done, shake a small amount of the dill weed onto the cucumber slice. Remember that dill is strong and a little goes a long way. Just one or two taps of your finger on the shaker should do it per slice.


The ruffling of the cucumber slices with the fork and the dill garnish really dress up this open faced appetizer. I always get raves about this at parties and requests for it at potlucks.


Just remember to cover them tightly because the bread will dry and the cucumbers will get wilted if left out too long. It's a good idea to do some preparation work the night before, but leave the slicing of the cucumbers and the assembly of the sandwiches for the last minute.
Make some BBQ shredded pork. Put a pork butt roast in your crock pot on low with some spices and brown sugar on it. after 3 hours pour a can of coke on it. After 4 hours take it out, put in bowl and let cool for a bit then shred it with 2 forks or use your food processor (it works great), when it's shredded pour a bottle of your favorite sauce over it (we love Sweet Baby Ray's). Return the shredded beef to the crock and heat through. Eat it plain or on buns. Very yummy. And lots of leftovers!





Take his favorite lunch meat and make wraps, put on tortillas, they come in many flavor now days, add his favorite veggies and condiments. Or dice up some chicken for the wrap, put on lettuce and onions and drizzle his favorite salad dressing on top like Ranch or Cesar.
