6 Tasty Sandwiches You Can Make at Home

Creating beautiful and tasty sandwiches need not be a complicated task. Sandwiches are generally simple to make, and very little, if any, actual cooking is involved. With grocery shopping being done online nowadays, there are sites such as Vons.com and Peapod that will delivery food to your front door. There's really no excuse not to spend a little time in the kitchen. At the very least, if you make your own sandwiches, you'll know what goes in them--healthier meals all around. Try out these six tasty recipes you can make at home.

1. Grilled Banana, Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread Sandwich

Delicious sandwiches don't need to have elaborate chef-quality recipes. Try this one for size. All the ingredients are basic and can be found right in your fridge or cupboard. First, mash the bananas. Spread chocolate and hazelnut on the bread slices. Spread the mashed banana over this. Spread butter on the sandwich sides and place them on a preheated grill. Once golden brown, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

2. Tuna Salad Wraps

For a lunchbox sandwich with a twist, try this recipe. Chicken can also be used instead of tuna. Mix a package of cream cheese with 1/3 cup of salad dressing, and two tablespoons each of mustard and honey. For texture, mix in 1 cups of corn kernels. Add two cans of tuna. For the twist, instead of basic bread, use corn tortillas. Spread a little butter on the tortilla before spreading the tuna salad. Cut it in half for lunchbox manageability. Serve it as is or chilled.

3. Leftover Barbecue Chicken Sandwich

Almost all kinds of leftover barbecued meat can be made into a sandwich. Instead of eating the same barbecued chicken (or pork), why not create a sandwich out of it? Just add barbecue sauce and jalapeno peppers into the shredded meat, and spread in the middle of hamburger buns. Serve with potato chips for something extra.

4. Easy Cheese and Fruit Sandwich

For a healthy option, try this easy cheese and fruit sandwich using brown bread instead of white. In a bowl, blend half a cup of cottage cheese, a cup of cream cheese, a cup of shredded Swiss cheese and three-fourths cup of dried fruits. Spread on brown bread slices and serve.

5. Egg Salad with Diced Cucumber Egg salad is simple and diced cucumber is even simpler. Just throw six diced hard-boiled eggs, half a cup of diced cucumber, half a cup of mayo, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and a little salt and white pepper into a bowl. Mix well. Spoon the mixture onto sliced French bread to make it look a bit elaborate, like you really know how to cook.

6. Bacon-Wrapped Hotdogs with Cheddar

This sandwich needs actual cooking. First, cook the bacon and set it aside. Cut a slit into the hotdogs lengthwise and fill this slit with cheddar cheese. Wrap the cooked bacon over the hotdogs. In a broiler or an oven, cook the hotdogs for two to three minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Stuff it all into hotdog buns.
