We normally just do sandwiches and snacks for lunches since so much is put into breakfast and dinners. However if you feel like going a bit gourmet for lunch, I’ve made this sandwich recipe a thousand times and it’s easy enough to do in the wild and perfect after a long hike that works up your appetite.
Ingredients –
- 2 Bell peppers – red, green, orange – whatever you feel like – sliced
- 1 White onion, sliced
- Handful of Mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. of deli roast beef, sliced
- Italian dressing (fat free also works if you want to cut some calories)
- 1 package of French rolls
- Provolone cheese, sliced
- Pepper Jack cheese, sliced
**One note, I would use a propane grill for this. We don’t normally make a fire for lunch because it’s so hot but you could essentially do these same steps over a campfire
Directions –
- Slice up the onion, bell peppers and mushrooms (if using)

- Heat a little bit of oil to a pan
- Add sliced onions and bell peppers and heat under tender

- Add mushrooms and roast beef to pan until mushrooms are tender
- Dress each side of bread with Italian dressing
- Arrange sandwiches with meat, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms
- Top each with a slice of provolone and a slice of pepper jack
- Place sandwiches on grill on low heat and close – if you were doing on a campfire, I would place them in a cast iron and cover with foil to keep the heat in
- Heat just a couple of minutes until cheese has melted
- Serve up with chips and/or salad!
