I just bought a sandwich maker from a thrift shop (the one that seals the edges in triangles). It did not have an instruction booklet with recipes. I know a few basic sandwiches but was wondering if anyone has come up with some new ideas.

Love my sandwich maker. Reubens are the best. I use rye bread lightly buttered. Swiss cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing.

White buttered bread with pizza sauce, mozzerella cheese and any pizza toppings are another favorite.

White buttered bread with apple, cherry or any pie filling for something sweet.

Spray the grids with "pam" and dip the outsides of the bread in egg, place on the grids and fill with sliced ham and some swiss cheese, ooo yum.

A dollop of mixed tuna in the middle of just one (each side), PBJ that is warm can't be beat, scrambled egg and sausage, etc. You can google the brand and get ideas, too. Good luck!

Butter the sides of the bread which will be next to the plates of the machine. You can leave the crusts. We quite like slices of cheese (cheddar or similar rather than processed) with either thinly sliced onion or apples added. You can, if you wish, add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce if you get it in your area.

I don't know what everyone else calls them, but around the campfire we'd call them pudgie pies. You can make them w/your sandwich maker though. Butter each piece of bread - open a can (Comstock is what i use) of fruit - whether it be apples, cherries, blueberries, etc. Put in about 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp of filling & cook. A delicious little pie!

I make muffins in my sandwich maker. Just mix up a packaged mix and put in makers. It just takes a few minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar... Very good !

Hope you enjoy these.

The sandwich maker is Great for eggs... you can just cook them like you would a fried egg (without all the grease) or you can mix up like scrambled eggs or with omelet fixin's.

Biscuit Sandwiches

You can put a small biscuit or half of a larger one in the bottom of one side and flatten it out and put all kinds of toppings on it--mini pizzas with pizza sauce and cheese and whatever other toppings you like--sugar and cinnamon--pie filling--

Muffin mixes - They can be used (try plain corn muffin mix with hot dogs - whole or sliced - for a version of corn dogs - or pancake batter with breakfast sausages).

Bisquik Batter or pancake mix or muffin mix works too-and you can add other things with it if you want to make it more of a meal or a dessert or a snack.

Put a little egg-beater in with maybe some salsa on top. Also use a little baking mix enough for just a couple of biscuits and put them in the snack maker. Have also done it. With the egg on one side and biscuit on the other at the same time.

Fluffer Nutter

  • Peanut butter
  • Marshmallow cream
  • Bread
  • Butter
Butter the outsides of the 4 slices of bread. Spread peanut butter on the inside side of two slices of bread. Spread the other two slices with marshmallow cream. Place the peanut butter and the marshmallow cream sides together, place the buttered sides down on the sandwich maker. Close lid and cook till toasted. This will make the sandwich maker a little messy, but oh so worth it as it is so tasty. Be careful as the peanut butter and fluff get very hot. May burn your mouth unless it cools.

Fruit Pies

  • Strawberry, blueberry, cherry or apple pie filling
  • Bread
  • Butter
Butter the outside of 4 slices of bread. Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down on the sandwich maker, then place pie filling on bread, and top with 2 other slices of buttered bread on top of the pie filling. Close pie maker and cook till golden brown. (to make these special, add a small amount of cream cheese on the pie filling)

A few years ago when I still ate meat, I used to make this lovely recipe in my sandwich maker. I took frozen turkey sausage patties (Pilgrims Pride, I think) and thawed them in the microwave so that I could break it up into pieces.

Then I put the crumbled sausage on bread with some jalapeños and shredded cheese on top, whatever kind you like but I used cheddar or some kind of mix. Then put that on the sandwich maker and cook until it's done.

After you take it out, put some sour cream and salsa on a plate to dip and enjoy! It was a big hit with my family. By the way, I was making these for my family when I was about twelve, so it's quite easy.
