That's a Wrap!

This week, we'll be making a wrap! A wrap is just a sandwich that is rolled up in a flat bread instead of being piled on top of and topped with bread. You can put anything in them that you would put on a traditional sandwich. Wraps are a super easy way to add some variety to your lunch throughout the week.  

So, here's a look at the ingredients we'll need to get our wrap going this week: Some ham, turkey, cheese, Flatout flat bread, and some Beano's All-American Sandwich Spread (found in your local grocery store's deli section). 



First, you'll lay your Flatout flat bread out.


After that, you'll put the Sandwich Spread on the flat bread. 


Then, you'll put the cheese of your choice on the flat bread. 


Next, you'll put the meat of your choice on the flat bread. This is also where you'd add any veggies or extras if you wanted them!


Last, you roll it up! You can tuck the ends in if you have lots of yummy stuff stuffed inside of it, but that's really not necessary with our simple wrap.


All done! Or should I say... That's a Wrap!


Enjoy and we'll see you next week! Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter pages for the announcement of what we'll be making next!

Back for Seconds

Hot Pastrami! (or was it hot tamale...) Anywho... Welcome back to Between the Bread with Beano's! This past Tuesday was National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day!! We decided that this sandwich would be a great blog topic for this week. We love a good pastrami sandwich! 

Fun fact: Pastrami is effectively corned beef that has been smoked. The smoking adds flavor as well as preserves the meat. Before refrigeration, this was a popular means of meat preparation to keep the meat from spreading bacteria. 

So let's take a look at how one of these sandwiches is put together... 





The ingredients you'll need for the pastrami sandwich we're going to make are marble rye bread, Swiss cheese, pickles, pastrami, and Beano's Deli Mustard. 




First, you'll lay your marble rye bread out as pictured so that you can put Deli Mustard on the inside of both pieces.




Then, you'll pile as much pastrami as you'd like onto one of the pieces of bread (we like to use a lot!)




Next comes the Swiss cheese! (or your favorite alternative cheese)




On top of the cheese, you'll put the pickle. Dill complements the rest of the sandwich, but you could also use bread and butter or your favorite pickle here. It also adds a nice crunchy texture to the sandwich.




Now, you'll put the sandwich together and you're ready for the "hot" part of the pastrami sandwich!




I like to use a toaster oven, but you can put the sandwich on a griddle or use a conventional oven if you don't have a toaster oven. I leave it in just long enough for the cheese to get nice and melty. Note: if you're going to put the sandwich on a griddle, I would suggest putting a little bit of butter on the outside of the bread... it will brown really nicely and taste great!





There you have it! A hot pastrami sandwich! I feel like I'm in a New York Deli :) Enjoy!


Next week... The Breakfast Sandwich!

The Best Place to Start is the Beginning

Welcome to Between the Bread with Beano's! We figured the best way to kick off our brand new blog all about sandwiches was with a nod to where we began. The very first product we started bottling was our Beano's Original Submarine Dressing, so we'll start with a good, old-fashioned submarine sandwich!

So, this sandwich has many names: Italian Sandwich, Grinder, Sub, Hoagie... and really no "official" name, but here at Beano's, we just call it delicious! Let's take a look at the makings of one of our all-time favorite sandwiches.



Here's a look at the popular ingredients for this sandwich. For the veggies, you can't go wrong with some lettuce and tomato. A foot-long sandwich bun is pretty standard for this sandwich, but you can get a smaller or larger bun to fit the size of your appetite. The meats here are ham, turkey, sandwich pepperoni, and hard salami. For the cheese, you can use your favorite... I think provolone cheese works best! And last, but not least, the sub dressing!



Next, you'll cut your bread in half and lay it out open-faced..



Cut your veggies (you can add more than just lettuce and tomato to make the sandwich a little bit more fancy... some people like to put some onion and peperoncini on their hoagie)



Now that your veggies are cut, they're ready to go on the bread that you laid out earlier.



On top of the veggies, you'll add the cheese...


Then, the meat! I like to use deli shaved turkey and ham and deli sliced sandwich pepperoni and hard salami, but you can use pre-packaged deli meats if you prefer!




To complete the sandwich and bring all of the other ingredients together, shake your bottle of Beano's Original Submarine Dressing so that the spices are mixed with the oil and pour some on your sandwich! 



There you have it! Yum... Now excuse me while I go eat this delicious sandwich!

Next week... We'll be making a hot pastrami sandwich in honor of "National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day"!
