Amazing-Bagel Sandwiches

There has been a recent boom of pre-packaged deli meats that are trying to compete with the freshly shaven meats from the deli. These Oscar Meyer versions of what you would typically get at the deli counter are about $7.00 per lb. where deli meat can approach $9.99 a lb. With a little extra effort, you can make this cheaper meat taste just as good as the expensive stuff.


Food You Need:
1 - Bagel (Any non-fruit flavor)
1 - Spicey Brown Mustard
1 - Veggie/Onion Cream Cheese Spread
1 - Your favorite deli cheese
1 - Good melting cheese - Swiss, Havarti, Pepperjack, etc

Cookware You Need:
1 - Toaster
1 - George Foreman Grill

Total Cost: $1.75-$3.25 per sandwich
Total Time: 4 minutes to prep/cook
Serves: 1
Left-overs: Only make enough to eat right away

To Get Started:
Plug in your George Foreman grill and let it heat up. Toss your bagel in the toaster and let it become just slightly crisped on the inside. Once your grill is heated up, throw your lunch meat (I prefer turkey but this would be great with bologna as well). After the turkey meat starts to show grill marks, flip it over and toss a slice of your favorite cheese on the meat. As the other side of the meat cooks and the cheese melts, spread your veggie cream cheese onto one side of the bagel. Put just a dash of the spicy brown mustard on the other side of the bagel. As soon as the cheese it melted, use a fork to scoop the meat onto the cream cheese side of the bagel, top, and enjoy!

This recipe is extremely simple, but the taste difference between a regular turkey sandwich or regular bagel is HUGE. It only takes a minute and is a great fast lunch for college kids on the go.
