Reviews from our home cooks
This was a delicious sandwich! The mayo, dressing combination was so good. I did make mine into a hot ham & cheese. Then added the veggies & dressing! Will definitely order this meal again!
Cutting up the lettuce was confusing took us a couple times to figure it out, but we did. LOL said to toast the bread but no suggestions or ideas on how to toast- we chose not to toast as would not fit in out toaster and didn't want turn on oven for just bread. It was fine not toasted.
It was good, better than I thought, not someone that buys Hormel products, lots of extra ingredients (tomato, lettuce, ham), it was surprisingly very tasty, mixing mayo and dressing worked well.
I really enjoyed it. But I feel like y'all need to double down on the "sandwich spread/salad dressing" Not even close on being able to dress both sandwich and the lettuce.
The lettuce wedge seemed kind of redundant since there is lettuce on the sandwich. I made it into a side salad with stuff I had a home to break up the boringness.
This was a great sub! I added onion & that made it even better! I wish it came with Dill pickle on the side!
Never thought to add mayo and Italian dressing together on a sandwich was amazing will have to do again
This was the best sandwich and salad I have had in a long time. I added croutons and shredded cheese. Thanks a million.
These were good. It was an easy dinner after a busy day. I ate the 2nd one for breakfast the next morning!
We thought it was going to be a pretty basic sandwich, but the sauce made this sandwich so good!
