Feeding a Crowd

1. Be creative and make your sandwiches match your theme. Tropical luau? Add a little pineapple to your ham and cheese. Weekend fiesta? Spicy peppers and salsa will add a Latin twist to your chicken wrap. Game day? A Philly-style hoagie will be sure to feed everyone's appetite.
2. Have fun with your food! For a kids' party, use cookie cutters to create fun shapes out of ordinary sandwiches.
3. Keep it simple at your next party and set up a homemade sandwich bar. Place flavored mayos, mustards and relishes in small dishes alongside a variety of meats, cheeses and breads. Guests can make their own gourmet sandwiches that will beat anything served at the corner deli.
4. Heat things up! When making hearty skillet sandwiches, cover the pan at the end of cooking for a few minutes to ensure all ingredients remain hot. Your sandwiches will keep warm as you serve them up to your hungry crew.
5. Impress your guests and mix it up with crisp apple slices or sliced peppers on your sandwiches for some extra crunch and texture. Sautéed spinach or grilled peaches add moisture and flavor to your ordinary hoagie.
