Baked Sandwiches

Baked Meat and Cheese Sandwiches

I started with two loaf of french bread as I wanted to make enough to freeze some for later and I have found that it only takes a few minutes more to do multiple batches so I can freeze some for a later date.

I sliced the bread in half lengthwise

Then in a mixing bowl I put one 8oz package of softened cream cheese 

and 8 oz of softened butter

I then cream it well until it is all mixed together and smooth

Them comes the poppy seed

I add 2 T of poppy seed

And them cream it again until the poppy seeds are evenly mixed in the butter/cream cheese mixture

I divide the mixture in 4 and spread it on the halves of french bread.

Now you start to layer the meat and cheese.

I started with ham lunch meat. you only layer on the bottom halves of the loafs

then layered Colby Jack Cheese

Then I placed sliced lunch meat turkey

Then a layer of Swiss cheese

Final meat I used was lunch meat chicken

 Which I  covered  with slice of mozzarella  cheese

Then I put the top half of the loaf on

I then sliced the loaves into three sections, as that is enough for my husband and I for one meal

I wrapped each section in aluminum fold. The ones for the freezer, I also put into a ziplock freezer bag.

To cook preheat the oven to 350 degrees

When oven is up to 350 degrees I put the foil wrap sandwich in .

If it is thawed it should cook in about 20-30 minutes.

If frozen it should take 60-70 minutes

I have also meat these with cooked ground sausage that has been cooked loose meat style. Basically I use three kinds of meat and three kinds of cheese with the above spread on the bread. Hope you enjoy it.
