Orange Habanero Banh Mi Sandwiches are bold and spicy meatball sandwiches, and the perfect sandwich recipe for lunch, dinner, or game day food!

Orange Habanero Banh Mi Sandwich anyone? This Banh Mi is seriously, a Saucy Mama Style sandwich. Could this be the perfect entry for this year's World Food Championship qualifying challenge? 

Saucy Mama's Orange Habanero Wing Sauce, and  Hatch Chili Mustard are the stars of the Banh Mi dish. The Asian style meatballs are infused with the Orange Habanero Wing Sauce, offering a sweet-heat to the recipe equation. Blending the Saucy Mama's Hatch Chili Mustard with my favorite Vietnamese mayonnaise resulted in the most delectable Bahn Mi Sandwich you can imagine. 

Saucy Mama's fine sauces, and mustards transformed my dish into the heartwarming Vietnamese street sandwich. 

I'll be posting my Saucy Mama giveaway next week and sharing a few of my other Saucy Mama recipe contenders. 

In the meantime, make yourself a Banh Mi sandwich!
