Few lunch meals are more satisfying or fulfilling than a delicious meat and cheese sandwich. With so many ingredients to choose from, it’s easy to create a dish that perfectly suits your palate. However, the broad range of options to choose from can also make it challenging to decide what you want. The following guide highlights a few savory combinations that will leave you full. 

3 Meat & Cheese Combinations to Try

1. Roast Beef & Sharp Cheddar

Finley sliced roast beef has a decadent, hearty taste. This red meat can be juicy and fatty, and serving it with a slightly tart cheese will add a level of complexity that perfectly complements the flavor profile of the meat. Ask your butcher to cut the roast beef slices very thin, and ask them to cut the sharp cheddar cheese into semi-thick slices.

2. Turkey & Swiss

Turkey can be served in a variety of ways. This type of meat has a mild flavor on its own, and the way in which it’s seasoned and cut can greatly impact its flavor.

For example, selecting a salt-and-pepper meat, and cutting it into thick slices, will taste rustic and home-cooked. In this case, adding a creamy, slightly sweet cheese, such as Swiss, will provide the fat needed to keep your sandwich moist and delectable.

3. Reuben With Swiss

For a mouthwatering combination of flavors, try corned beef with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and sauerkraut, all melted between two thick slices of rye bread. For a smokey, spicy, and peppery take on this classic lunch sandwich, switch out corned beef with pastrami. Pair this yummy meal with a side of coleslaw or potato salad to freshen up your palate.
