March Madness Basketball Party Sandwiches

This fast idea can work for virtually any sandwich, whatever fillings and sammy fixins you like.

I’ve seen more complicated ideas that involve coloring homemade, unbaked buns orange before baking them and adding lines to the basketball.

- dinner rolls - coloring spray - black food coloring - onions - cheese

Start by making an “X” on your bun. Then add two half-ovals on either side.

The buns should dry fairly quickly, in just two or three minutes, at most.

If you go the paint route, definitely use a brand-new paintbrush, or one that you’ve used only for other food projects.
