Of course you could just make them and eat them, but I like to freeze up a batch for lunches. I got the recipe off of about.com. Remember, you can't freeze mayo, but Miracle Whip is fine.

FREEZER VEGETABLE-STUFFED SANDWICH MELTS

FREEZER VEGETABLE-STUFFED SANDWICH MELTS image

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 small onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 (14 oz) cans water-packed artichoke hearts, drain
2 (14 oz) cans fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, drain
2/3 cup chopped black olives
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
Black pepper
2 tsp crushed red pepper
3 loaves french bread

Steps:

Step 1 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and onion and saute, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until softened and mushrooms have lost most of their water. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Step 2 Squeeze out any excess liquid from drained artichoke hearts, and chop. Step 3 In a large bowl, stir together drained artichoke hearts, tomatoes, black olives, 3 cups mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Add cooked mushroom mixture, and stir until well combined. Step 4 Cut bread loaves in 1/2 lengthwise, and scoop out some inner bread to make a hollowed out shell. Spread 1/6 of vegetable-cheese mixture on each hollowed-out shell. Divide remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella over tops of bread. Step 5 Freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, wrap each piece in aluminum foil, place in a freezer bag and freeze. To Serve: Preheat oven to 350. Bake frozen foil-wrapped sandwich for about 20 minutes. Unwrap top of foil and bake for 6 - 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

For a healthier version, use whole-wheat bread and low-fat cheese.
Add a layer of your favorite spread, such as hummus, guacamole, or pesto, to the bread before adding the vegetables.
If you don't have any frozen vegetables, you can use fresh vegetables. Just cook them until they are tender before assembling the sandwiches.
For a crispy sandwich, grill the sandwiches in a panini press or on a griddle over medium heat.
Serve the sandwiches with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or barbecue sauce.

Freezer vegetable stuffed sandwich melts are a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be made ahead of time and frozen for later.
