    Mini Toasted Sandwiches

    Mini Toasted Sandwiches

    These little hot pizza-looking-sandwiches are very tasty. Many choices of vegetables in one little sandwich makes it very nutritious, with a bit less effort, for raising healthier kids. The little pieces are not so quick and easy for kids to pick off their least favorite veggie, so it all goes down quicker.

    In their deliciousness and flavor, you could try disguising broccoli or other veggies into the veggie mix, that you want your kids to eat. My kids absolutely love them; they perfectly fit into their little hand and they can easily devour several in one sitting.

    For us, summertime is the best time for making them since having all the veggies growing in my garden is so handy. I don't have to have a big shopping grocery list so I make them at least four times a month. It's a great after school meal for kids as well. Chop together, and chomp together. 😛

    Ingredients:
    2 packages (10 each) Original English Muffins
    1 lb. package - Mozzarella cheese
    1 lb. - MOSKOVSKA KIELBASY
    1 lb. - baby bologna
    4 - tomatoes
    4 - cucumbers (or 1 long English cucumber)
    1 - large yellow pepper
    1 - large red pepper
    large bunch of chives
    1 - cup mayonnaise
    1 can - RAGU pizza sauce
    1 tbsp. - salt
    ¼ tsp. - black fine ground pepper

    This recipe makes 40 little sandwiches. You can make half of this portion if you have smaller family.

    Dicing:
    1. Wash all the vegetables, inspecting them thoroughly, and dice them into very small cubes (like for traditional potato salad) with a good sharp knife or a dicer. Place all diced vegetables in a large bowl, except tomatoes. Cut tomatoes and place them on the paper towel in a separate plate, so the paper towel can soak the juice from tomatoes (if this step is not done correctly, than your mixture will be watery). After the tomatoes are somewhat dry, add them to the rest of the diced vegetables and meat. I start cutting tomatoes first to allow more time for soaking.

        Yes, it's ok. They taste really good cold too, but if you like them warm, just pop them into the oven on Broil cycle for a minute or two (by the time they change into their home clothing and get into the kitchen, they will be pretty warm and fresh, like they were just cooked). We love them so very much! Enjoy!
