Seemingly simple?  It's because it IS. Prep each week with Turkey & White Cheddar, Ham & Provolone, or Meat & Relish or Mayo.  You will be surprised how much your whole family will enjoy this 'quick fix'!

Note: please get the nitrate free, no antibiotics/growth hormones, humanly raised version of all meat.  Some grocery stores have this as a deli option but Applegate is an amazing packaged brand that is consistent. 

We do these 1 time per week, for a quick meal.  When purchasing you must find meat nitrate free, natural casing if possible.
