Freezer Sandwiches

I grew up on freezer sandwiches — I am sure my parents wouldn't have been able to pack lunches for 4 teens and a growing boy without them! Not only do freezer sandwiches save time but they make lunches more affordable.

Ingredients

1 loaf bread
Sandwich filling (see below)
Sandwich bags or containers

Freezer-friendly Sandwich Fillings

Ham & Cheese
Turkey & Cheese
Tuna Salad
Salmon Salad
Meat & Pickle Spread
Peanut Butter & Jam (nut-free peanut butter if going to school or public lunch area)

Directions

Prepare sandwiches and cut in two or four pieces
Wrap each sandwich separately using ziplock lunch bag or lunch containers.
If using plastic wrap or bags place back in the original bread bag or a large ziplock bag to protect from freezer burn. Now is the time to mix them up if your child likes variety.
The night before (or morning of) take sandwich out and store in freezer/lunchbag.
Add lettuce, tomato and other toppings when the sandwich is thawed.
