The Belly Buster Breakfast Sub
(AKA The Breakfast Bypass Sub)
 
Makes 6 subs (which can be wrapped in plastic wrap and reheated)
 
1 dozen Jumbo Eggs
1 lb Bacon
1 lb Pork Roll (or taylor Ham, or canadian bacon)
4 Russet Potatoes (diced in 1/4" cubes of equal size)
1 small onion (Sliced in 1/4" strips)
Salt and Pepper
18 slices of American Cheese
6 8" sub rolls
 
The whole magic of this is the order of cooking.  In a Large Skillet, Fry the Whole pound of bacon, then in the bacon fat, fry the Pork Roll (or whatever ham type thingy your using).  Now at this point you fry the eggs in the remaining fat (I prefer to cook my eggs over hard, but scramble would work too.  Runny eggs have no place on a sandwich, in my opinion)  Then add the potatoes and onions to the pan, salt and pepper to taste and fry till golden brown and fork tender, yet with a bit of firmness still.  The potatoes should soak up most of the fat (The Magic part, also the bypass part....lol)  Open each roll, place 3 slices of american cheese on each (This forms a sorta fat grease barrier so you don't end up with a soggy roll)  then add equal amounts of potatoes, bacon, ham type product and eggs
 
Yet most may think this sounds unhealthy (probably is) and just nasty tasting, all that fat will make some of the best home fries you've ever had.

Honey Mustard Chicken
 
Tastes great as a lunch, snack, dinner, or breakfast (if you're feeling particularly adventurous). Serves well with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Much simpler than it sounds, and easily adaptable for different serving sizes. Don't hesitate to use the honey mustard sauce as a beverage -- it's quite tasty.
 
Serving Size: 4
Cook Time: 20 minutes - 30 minutes
 
Ingredients:
8 Thinly-sliced chicken breasts (about 1/2-1 inch thickness)
1 tbs oregano
1 tbs seasoning salt
10 pieces of bacon (optional)
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese (optional)
1 cup Mushrooms (optional)
1 tbs Vegetable oil;
 
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup french's mustard
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup light corn syrup
 
1) Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in large skillet or saucepan. Combine ingredients for honey mustard sauce in a separate bowl. Clean chicken; pound to approx 1/2 inch thickness if necessary.
 
2) Season chicken with oregano and seasoning salt, enough for each side. Saute each side in skillet for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. If you're cooking a lot of chicken, sometimes you might need to do the chicken in two loads. Take off the skillet, dry the oil, and put chicken on baking dish.
 
Optional step: Cook bacon and chop mushrooms.  Apply honey mustard sauce on top of the chicken, and then crumble bacon and chopped mushrooms on top, layering with Monterey Jack. Don't worry about it getting messy. Although this takes a bit more time and energy, I recommend this step. If you aren't going to layer it with bacon or mushrooms, I recommend just skipping the Monterey Jack all together, and serving the honey mustard sauce on the side (like a dipping sauce).
 
3) Cook chicken for 15 minutes, or until meat is white. If you're feeling particularly artsy, you can sprinkle parsley on the top. Serve and enjoy.

Hey Todd,

On the tuna front, see If you can find a store that sells Heinz Salad Cream. It’s an English product so it could be a little tricky to find, but well worth the effort. You mix the tuna and salad cream up and then you could either chop up some little chunky cucumber cubes and mix in as well… or put some cucumber slices on the top, totally up to you, both are good.

Salad cream is also great for making potato salad, or just as an accompaniment in any sandwich situation.

Good luck finding some
