Hi friends! My brother had a brilliant To Go Sandwiches idea for the cooler and I must share it with you! These easy to go Hawaiian Roll Sandwiches have become and instant staple in our cooler.
We spend a lot of time on the lake in the summer. We take all kinds of different foods with us. I try to make the food as easy and hassle free as possible and I’m always on the lookout for the no fuss, no mess food to make less work and the boating trip more enjoyable.
One weekend we traveled to the big brother’s house and spent the day on his boat. His boat means his food. We are all getting ready so we can head to the lake. My big brother, Kevin pulls out some Hawaiian Rolls. I don’t think much about it and continue getting ready. Now let’s fast forward to lunch time on the boat…..Kevin pulls the Hawaiian Rolls out of the cooler. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hawaiian Rolls! But now I’m thinking, we are only eating rolls for lunch??? Nope…I was wrong. The rolls were actually these perfect little delicious pre made sandwiches. You just pulled out a sandwich or two from the package and Voila…lunch!
No hassle, no fuss, and no cleanup! Needless to say, I was very impressed. Right then and there, I knew my brother was onto something and this was a must have for my cooler.
The Most Delicious And Easiest TO GO Sandwiches For Your Cooler!
These Cold Cuts Hawaiian Rolls are the perfect addition to anyone’s cooler for any event. By making them ahead of time at home, you can avoid bringing condiments and all the extra packages. No plastic silverware needed either! The assembly is much easier than making tons of separate sandwiches.
My favorite part (besides how yummy they are!) is the little sandwiches travel right in the package. Also, you can take a Sharpie and write right on the package so there will be no confusion as to what kind of sandwich you are grabbing.
The recipe above is tried and true! I love the sweetness of the rolls mixed with the saltiness of the cold cuts. You can change these little sandwiches up whichever way your heart desires. Use your favorite cold cuts, condiments, cheeses, and vegetables. I promise you can’t go wrong with any version of these to go sandwiches.
Throw these bad boys in your cooler the next time you head out on your boat or for your next picnic. The Most Delicious And Easiest TO GO Sandwiches For Your Cooler would also be the perfect addition when heading to the park, beach, camping, and tailgating. Anywhere you take a cooler, these sandwiches are a must!
Make sure and checkout my Easy To Go Salads for your cooler that requires no cleanup. The salads pair perfectly with these sandwiches and uses the leftover lunch meat containers so there is no mess.
I have to give a shout out to my big brother Kevin for giving me this wonderful idea! It has made lunch on our boat so extremely easy and delicious! Thank you big brother!

It IS a great idea for a cooler-lunch! Thanks for sharing it 🙂
Thanks Linda!! I love not having to pack a bunch of stuff!
Oh my gosh this is genius! I’m definitely doing this on our next camping trip. Thanks for sharing the family secret!
Seriously! I make those little hot ham and cheese rolls but never thought of this…every once in a while the brother has a stroke of genius! Lol!
This is such a great way to make sandwiches To Go. Pinned and Tweeted. Thanks for sharing on Snickerdoodle Sunday.
AWESOME! What a perfect idea… a roll size that is so flavorful!
Thank you! My brother had a brilliant idea for once! lol!
Thank you for posting this! We are going on basically a huge 2 week long road trip, and I was looking for ideas for things we could eat while on the road so I don’t spend a million dollars on fast food. This is actually going to be dinner a couple nights, lol. We LOVE those rolls! Why did I not think of this???
Hey Kelli! Yay! I’m glad you found these sandwiches! I was so excited when my brother made them! Couldn’t get any easier! Ya’ll have fun on your road trip and save some money!
Could these be made ahead and frozen?
Hey Melissa! I’ve not thought about freezing them. I do freeze bread though. If you freeze them, let me know how it turns out!
Great idea! I’ve made these hot several times and already had them on my list for our trip next week, but I’m thinking of wrapping them in foil and ‘cooking’ them on the dashboard!
Hey Shonda! I love the hot version too. In this heat wave it probably wouldn’t take long to heat up that way. Have a great trip and thanks for stopping by!
With the condiments, don’t they get soggy?
Hey Mandy! No, they don’t get soggy at all. They hold up great. I set the package on top of the ice in the cooler and away we go. Thanks for stopping by. ????
Found this on Pinterest. Great idea! My husband is a truck driver and is gone for a week or more at a time. He has a small plug-in cooler, so these will work great for him to grab n go!
Thank you Amanda! We just ate these little sandwiches on the lake this past weekend and they are soooo good!
What a great idea for when you are heading out onto the boat for the day. Lake life makes your hungry for sure.
Thank you Anne! You’re always hungry after swimming.
This is a great idea! How many pounds of each meat do you think it takes per sleeve of buns? I want to make these for a camping trip this weekend and want to make sure I buy the right amount!
Hi Katelyn! I would use a pound and half for each sleeve of buns. If you use 3 different meats then you will use 1/2 pound of each. Hope that helps and have fun camping!
Could these be made a day ahead of time and kept in the fridge until travel time?
Hey Amber. Absolutely. I make them the night before almost every time.
