What’s Cookin’? March Madness 7-Layer Sandwich [Recipe]
Freshly ground salt and pepper
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
½ large yellow onion, chopped
2 cups button mushrooms, chopped
1 large sourdough bread bowl
5 slices cheddar cheese
1 cup baby spinach
8 strips cooked bacon
5 slices Provolone or Swiss cheese
Finally, put the second steak on top, tucking it under the lip of the bread bowl. Cover with the bread lid and wrap the entire loaf in foil. I didn't scrimp on the foil, I used about 4-5 layers tucked tightly to avoid any possibility of this bad boy drying out!
Place the wrapped sandwich on a baking dish. Stack weights or large books on top cutting board to compress the sandwich. Chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours. I used three 10lb weights that I borrowed from Thing #2 and let mine chill for 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 275˚F. Remove the foil from the sandwich and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until the bread is slightly crisp. Slice into wedges...mine was still cool in the center so I microwaved each slice for 1 minute to completely melt the cheese. Brace yourself - this will smell heavenly! I added a side of salt and pepper kettle chips and dill pickle spears then watched the hubs devour it!
This is the perfect make head sandwich for the big game. My crew loved it! I hope yours does too! GAME ON!!!
