Layered Beef Picnic Sandwich Sandwiches & Wraps

Ingredients

• 1 round loaf of crusty French or Italian bread (10-12 inch diameter)
• 1 small container herbed cream cheese
• 1 jar roasted red peppers, rinsed
• 6 leaves red leaf lettuce
• 3/4 pound deli roast beef, sliced thinly
• 1/2 pound provolone cheese, sliced
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Cut top from bread and hollow out most of the inside, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.

Spread all cut surfaces of the bread with the herbed cream cheese.

Layer with half of cheese, beef, lettuce and peppers.

Sprinkle 1 tsp. oil and 1 tsp. vinegar over peppers.

Repeat the layers and sprinkle with remaining oil and vinegar.

Replace the top on the loaf and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 8. Unwrap and cut into wedges to serve.

Suggestions

You may substitute 4 small individual round rolls for the single large loaf. Just divide the ingredients between them.
