On-the-Go Sandwich Hack: Roll ‘n’ Slice Edition!

Are you tired of soggy sandwiches when you’re on the move? Try this convenient and tasty on-the-go sandwich hack that keeps your sandwiches fresh until you’re ready to enjoy them!

Ingredients:

1 package of 12 or 24 count rolls (e.g., Kings Hawaiian)
Cheese, meat, toppings of your choice
Optional: veggies to be added later

Instructions:

Choose Your Rolls:
- Select your preferred rolls, such as Kings Hawaiian or any other type you like.
Slice, Don’t Break:
- Instead of breaking the rolls apart, carefully slice them horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. This keeps the rolls connected.
Layer Your Goodies:
- Layer your chosen cheese, meat, and any other toppings on the bottom half of the sliced rolls. Consider excluding veggies at this stage to prevent sogginess.
Reassemble in the Tray:
- Place the top half of the rolls back on, reassembling them into their original shape.
- Put the whole ensemble back into the little paper tray that the rolls came in.
Cut and Contain:
- While still in the tray, cut the rolls apart into individual servings.
- To save on expenses, place the cut sandwiches back into the original bag they came in. For 12-packs, a gallon-sized freezer bag works well too.
On-the-Go Ready:
- Your neatly packed and prepped sandwiches are now ready for transport. The original bag or freezer bag provides an extra layer of protection.
Add Veggies When Ready:
- Keep any veggies you want to add on the side, and include them just before you’re ready to eat to maintain freshness and crunch.
Enjoy Anytime, Anywhere:
- Whether it’s a quick lunch at work, a picnic, or a road trip snack, your on-the-go sandwiches are now convenient, fresh, and ready to be enjoyed!

How to store it:

Storing Roll ‘n’ Slice On-the-Go Sandwiches:

Refrigeration:
- If you plan to consume the sandwiches within the next day or two, store them in the refrigerator.
- Place the sandwiches in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from permeating.
Freezing (Optional):
- For longer storage, you can freeze the sandwiches.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to protect it from freezer burn.
- Place the wrapped sandwiches in a labeled freezer bag to keep them organized.
- Freeze for up to 1-2 months.
Veggies on the Side:
- If you’ve kept the veggies separate, store them in a small container or sealed bag in the refrigerator. Add them to the sandwich just before consuming to maintain their freshness.
Reheating (if desired):
- For hot sandwiches, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave.
- If using the oven, wrap the sandwich in foil and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- If using the microwave, heat in intervals, checking for your desired warmth.
On-the-Go Cooler (for outings):
- If you’re taking the sandwiches on a day out, use a cooler bag with ice packs to keep them fresh and safe to eat.
Quality Check:
- Before reheating or consuming a frozen sandwich, check for any signs of freezer burn, such as ice crystals or changes in texture. If the sandwich appears compromised, it’s best not to consume it.
