MOM'S DYNAMITE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain., Stir in all remaining ingredients except buns. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 1 hour or until desired consistency and flavors are blended, stirring occasionally. Serve on buns.

MOM'S (RAMADAN) SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut out (using a round cookie cutter) a circle out of the bread slices.
• Shred the chicken breast into small pieces.
• Prepare the sandwiches: spread with mayo, layer with chicken, tomato and lettuce.
• Press down the sandwich using your hand, this makes the next step easier.
• Dip into the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
• Be sure to cover the sides of the sandwich as well.
• Fry in a little oil until golden-brown.
• Can be baked or deep-fried as well.

MOM'S SHREDDED ELK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard powder, lemon juice, liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Place the elk roast into a large slow cooker, and pour the sauce overtop.
• Cover, and cook on High until the meat shreds easily with a fork, about 5 hours. Shred, and serve on the hamburger buns.

MOM'S EGG SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place eggs in a medium saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove from heat; cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water. Peel eggs and coarsely chop.
• In a large bowl, mix together eggs, celery, mayonnaise, and salt; season with pepper. If salad seems dry, add more mayonnaise to reach desired consistency.
• Divide egg salad evenly between 4 slices of bread; sandwich with remaining slices of bread. Serve with onion, tomato, and pickles.

MOM'S SIT SANDWICH (AKA SQUISHY SORTA MUFFULETTA)

Steps:

• Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally and hollow out the soft bread from both halves, leaving a shell about 3/4-inch thick.
• Reserve soft bread for another use.
• In small bowl, combine artichoke liquid with mayonnaise and spread onto bread shells.
• In bottom half, layer ingredients at least three times until mounded high, beginning and ending with tomatoes.
• Place top half of bread over mound of ingredients.
• Wrap entire loaf tightly with plastic wrap.
• This must be assembled at least 2 hours before serving, but can be assembled up to 8 hours before serving.
• Refrigerate.
• Before serving, place sandwich (wrapped in plastic) on a hard surface and SIT ON IT! This smashes the ingredients together and makes it easier to serve. Do not omit this step, strange as it seems, as this step is what makes the sandwich delicious.
• Slice the loaf into wedges or slices to serve.
• Note: I usually roughly chop the artichoke hearts, myself. Also, regarding the artichoke juice mixture: you can add only half of it to the mayo, if you like - how much of the spread you're going to need depends on the size of loaf you've gotten.
• Note #2: other good additions I've made to the sandwich include strips of roasted red and yellow pepper, whole fresh basil leaves (placed on top of the tomatoes) or pesto into the mayo, pepperoncini and/or sliced sweet red cherry peppers, pancetta, and more salami or other hard sausage than the recipe calls for.
• Note #3: any leftover mayo mixture, by the way, makes a great salad dressing! I once accidentally used the juice from a jar larger than the recipe called for and the mixture was far more than I needed -- so to thicken it up a bit I added a bit of lowfat sour cream, and made the leftover mixture (much to my husband's delight) available as salad dressing. Yum!
