The Sandwich List You Will Share With Anyone Who Says They Hate Cooking

Tomato Sandwich

The Tomato Sandwich proves that mayo and fresh tomatoes are all it takes to turn skepticism into silence. Three ingredients, no cooking, and somehow still perfect.

Loose Meat Sandwich

The Loose Meat Sandwich is the definition of “effortless win.” Crumbled beef, onions, and a soft bun – it’s like a Sloppy Joe that skipped the sauce meeting but kept all the comfort.

Runza

Nebraska’s Runza is what happens when cozy meets simple. Bread dough, ground beef, and cabbage sound humble, but one bite proves they can stand toe to toe with any “real meal.”

Patty Melt

The Patty Melt is foolproof. You need a skillet, bread, cheese, and a burger patty. Somehow those few parts create something that feels like diner therapy in sandwich form.

Benedictine

Kentucky’s Benedictine is a no-cook crowd pleaser. Cream cheese, cucumber, and salt turn into something that feels like an afternoon off without leaving the house.

Sloppy Joe

The Sloppy Joe rewards minimal effort with maximum nostalgia. Ground beef, ketchup, and a bun – nothing fancy, just proof that cooking doesn’t need rules to work.

Pastrami Burger

Utah’s Pastrami Burger tastes like diner takeout but takes minutes at home. Just layer deli pastrami over a burger, melt cheese, and wait for people to ask where you ordered it.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

The Tuna Salad Sandwich is the ultimate fridge fallback. Canned tuna, mayo, and pickle relish do the heavy lifting while you just assemble and eat.

Hani

Michigan’s Hani is a late-night legend. Fried chicken, cheese, and lettuce in a warm pita show that the best sandwiches are built by people who don’t overthink dinner.

Hot Brown

The Hot Brown might look fancy, but it’s just turkey, cheese sauce, and bacon baked until golden. It’s proof that simple ingredients, handled right, can fake elegance perfectly.

Fried Bologna Sandwich

The Fried Bologna Sandwich might be the ultimate “I hate cooking” gateway. One pan, five minutes, and you’re eating something that belongs in a diner booth.
