Tired of the same old PB&J?  Want to dress up a picnic sandwich but don’t know how?  Here is an easy, simple, and inexpensive recipe for the tastiest sandwiches I know I’m hooked on! As college students, we’re always thinking of ways to save money and time and to keep things SIMPLE!!  Worry no more, here is a GREAT sandwich that can easily become one of your new favorites!

My Aunt’s sandwiches: Prep and cook time = 20 minutes; Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

6 sub rolls (available at any grocery store)
24 slices of Canadian bacon (2 per sandwich)
1 cucumber sliced thin (4 slices per sandwich)
6 hard boiled eggs sliced thin (available at Outtakes convenience stores right on campus!)
1-2 Roma tomatoes sliced thin about the same size as a cucumber
1 tablespoon dijon or honey dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1) Split open your sub rolls.  In a small storable container, mix the dijon mustard and mayonnaise together with salt and pepper and spread evenly on both sides of all the rolls.

2) Arrange 4 slices of cucumber on one side of the sub roll and 4 slices of egg on the other side.  Repeat this with the tomatoes and Canadian bacon.

Makes a great sandwich and is great for picnics and any college midnight
snack.  Enjoy! =)
