SASSY PHILLY CHEESE, or ROAST BEEF JALAPENO or ?? SANDWICHES FOR TAILGATING TIME

The key here is in the dressing.  I have made these with ham and Swiss, different flavors of cream cheese or just plain, roast beef and jalapenos, etc… The flavor combos are endless.  Plus these are the perfect size for football tailgating or Superbowl parties and King’s Hawaiian is now making this bread in a mini sub size which is perfect for those big strapping guys who think the little squares are too dainty for them LOL.

Tonight’s combo is Genoa Salami, oven roast turkey, roast beef and colby jack with plain green cheese for me and the same meats for hubby with baby swiss.

Adapted from  Philadelphia® Cream Cheese Recipe

12 Servings
1 package (12 count) Hawaiian bread rolls or 1 package (6 count) mini sub rolls
1 pound shaved meats
12 slices cheese
1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
1 tub (8 ounces) PHILADELPHIA® Cheese Spread

  • Top with Gruyere and then green onions.
  • Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese spread on top of each roll.
  • Return the tops to the bottoms making sandwiches.

COOK’S NOTES:

  • I use my Lasagna Pan and it works like a charm.
  • CHANGE YOUR overall sandwich FLAVOR by changing the meats and cheeses.
  • You can make these ahead of time and allow them to sit in the refrigerator overnight. 
  • *These ingredients are the key to these delicious sandwiches no matter which flavor combos you use.
