These 3 great anytime sandwiches, which are even better with fresh tomatoes from your garden, are just that - Great! They can be served for lunch or dinner, brunch or The Super Bowl. One sandwich might feed a hungry teenager or tired skier home from a day on the hills (yum, with a bowl of soup) but they can also be sliced into smaller servings that feed those with smaller appetites.
Want to really up the enjoyment, just add extra fresh tomatoes. With plenty of tomatoes growing in your garden (I hope), these 3 great anytime sandwiches are perfect to add in extra slices of tomatoes.And, of course, any lettuce or onions, you might have planted.
Make one for yourself or serve the whole gang on lazy summer days, when everyone can add their own choices. They are enjoyed equally on your patio or taken on a picnic to the park.
Super Bowl Sub just for the Super Bowl? (not on your life, if you think I am going to miss a World Series game to make dinner then you are in for a big surprise, hunny bunch). Serve the Super Bowl Submarine sandwich for The World Series or Grey Cup Game when you may still have some of your delicious fresh tomatoes available in your garden!

The third, and final, of our 3 great anytime sandwiches is a longtime family favorite, hopefully soon to become a favorite with your family. Just so simple and so satisfying.

3 English muffins, split and toasted

1 can (6 1/2 oz) tuna, drained and
flaked

For a crowd - or just my family - I prefer to cook these in the oven on a large cookie sheet. On a hot summer day you may well prefer to use a toaster oven or microwave.
From the littlest grandchild up to the oldest in the family, these are a family favorite. On Autumn's brisk days, we love them with a bowl of soup, homemade or not. I love the almost 'instant' dinner with almost no clean-up part!
As you come back from that first chilly walk admiring the piles of Fall leaves, stop in your garden patch to pick the last of the ripened tomatoes before you head indoors.
Well, if you know me, I can't just stop at 3 great anytime sandwiches, I have to move on to a 4th one!
I think you'll love this one from Six Sisters blog, once again an easy sandwich with fresh tomatoes that is not only quick to make, it's perfect for Meatless Mondays.
Enjoy!
