Sports Mama Tip: Keep Food Warm Without Sternos!

Hey Sports Mamas, I have a quick tip for you today. Next time you're feeding the team hotdogs, burgers, or any type of warm sandwich, be sure to whip out your handy, dandy cooler! Yep, you heard me right. No warming trays or Sternos needed!

This past week we fed our boys chicken patty sandwiches as part of their pre-game meal. One of my football mama BFFs and I made them at home and then loaded them up and took them to the school. Nobody wants a cold or soggy sandwich. Am I right?! Here's what we did to be sure they were still warm when it was time to serve.

• We baked the patties according to the package (164 of them total!) and placed them on buns.

• We then wrapped each sandwich individually in aluminum foil.

• Once all of the patties were wrapped, we placed them back in the oven on it's lowest temperature setting.

• Before we headed to the school, we placed them in coolers.

When it was time to serve, the sandwiches were still piping hot. The other volunteers commented on how warm they were and the team absolutely loved them!

You'd think that the buns would get soggy or even crunchy being placed in the oven, but they definitely did not. They were just right. In fact, we used this same method for hotdogs after a scrimmage and they were warm a good three hours after coming out of the oven!
