Super Bowl Wedge
"This is an oldie but goodie that I used to serve on Super Bowl Sunday during the 80's! Although, in order to post this, I had to be specific with ingredient amounts, it really is up to your personal taste and is more a template to follow to create your ideal wedge."

This is one delicious sandwich and the sky is the limit as far as ingredients go. I used spicy ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, roasted peppers, red onion, and I added a bit of olive tapenade along with the oregano. I missed getting to make this sandwich for the Super Bowl, but its great any time of the year. Made for the For Your Consideration tag game. -
I must admit..when I told DH what our Saturday night treat was, and he saw me buying the meats from the deli, he actually turned his nose up at it.....BUT, I reminded him of his favourite food show ( Man V Food) and some of the yummy sandwiches that Adam had sampled and he relented ( although only on the condition that I ditched the roasted peppers).<br/>Well...How wrong can a man be...and how much can he compliment such a simple but devilishly delicious concoction?!!!<br/>We used Italian Parmesan and Black Pepper rolls from our local bakery (they are pretty big..he did a whole one, me just a half!!). DH's contained roast beef, roast chicken and pepperoni-mine ham,roast chicken and pepperoni. We used Aussie Jack cheese, red onion and plenty of olive oil and oregano.<br/>Well...as I said...how much can one man compliment it....PLENTY!! He absolutely LOVED it...and is still talking about it now...!!<br/>JackieOhNo..you are re-named JackieOhYes from us-thank you! Made for PRMR. -
Wow this was a great sandwich! I used turkey pastrami, sandwich pepperoni, spiced ham, and picante provolone. I only used about 1/4 cup of oil. Thanks so much for sharing. I definitely look forward to making this again.

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
