March Madness Basketball Party Sandwiches

This Basketball Party Sandwich recipe is a fast idea that can work for virtually any sandwich, whatever fillings and sammy fixins you like.

Since store-bought buns are already essentially basketball-colored, I have a shortcut strategy which is much faster and easier!

- 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.

You should be able to grab liquid black food coloring at most grocery stores.
