Notes

Substitutions and Variations

  • Leave out the hot peppers - the peppers we use in this recipe are super delicious but they are spicy. Sandwiches like this one love spicy ingredients but you can leave them out if you would like. Substitute red bell peppers.
  • Experiment with different cheeses - we used a pizza cheese blend that worked really well but you can try other cheeses like swiss, gouda, and edam. As much as I love feta cheese, I would stay away from that one here is it does not go well with the alfredo sauce.
  • Tuna Matzo Grinder - a classic lunch grinder recipe. Leave out the alfredo sauce and mushrooms and substitute tuna salad.
  • Pineapple Pizza Matzo Grinder - leave out the alfredo sauce and mushrooms and add pineapple tidbits and marinara sauce instead.
