Grandma’s Grinders
4 Hoagie rolls sliced in half
1 package Black Forest ham
1 small red, yellow, and green bell peppers - sliced
1 medium sweet onion - sliced
6-8 slices of provolone cheese
Butter
1. In a medium skillet warm 1-2 tbs butter. When butter is melted add onions and peppers and sate’ 3-4 min until crisp and tender. Set aside.
2. In the same pan add slices of ham and cook on both sides. I use about 4 pieces per grinder. Set aside.
3. While ham is cooking toast hoagies in a toaster oven or over the stove with butter. When finished layer the cheese on both sides so it can begin to melt.
4. Stack on ham and veggies to each hoagie.
5. Dig in!
If you're looking for a comforting and easy-to-make sandwich, Grandma’s Grinders is a perfect choice. When I first tried this recipe, I loved how the combination of sweet bell peppers and onions sautéed in butter brought a rich, caramelized flavor that balanced perfectly with the salty Black Forest ham. Using hoagie rolls toasted with butter not only adds crunch but also creates a warm base that soaks up the delicious juices from the meat and veggies. One tip I found helpful is to layer the provolone cheese on both sides of the hoagie before adding the fillings. This helps the cheese melt evenly and keeps the bread from getting soggy. You can also experiment with adding a bit of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the sautéed veggies for extra flavor. For a spicy twist, try adding thin slices of jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. Grandma’s Grinders are perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner when you want something satisfying without too much effort. Plus, it’s versatile — you can swap the Black Forest ham for turkey, roast beef, or even a vegetarian option using grilled mushrooms or tofu. The key is to keep the veggies crisp and flavorful and the cheese gooey and melty. In my experience, making this sandwich also brings back fond memories of family gatherings and cozy meals shared over simple yet hearty food. It’s a great recipe to keep in your rotation when you want a taste of homemade goodness with minimal fuss.
