Footlong Sandwich

Submarine Sandwich

This footlong sandwich or submarine sandwich starts with a fresh bakery loaf of bread piled high with meats, cheese, and your favorite fixings. Slice and serve this cold cut combo for picnics, easy weeknight meals, or game day snack spreads.

Ingredients

  • Bread – Use a whole, unsliced loaf from the bakery section of your supermarket. I love sourdough, but any variety works. Try Italian, whole wheat, or whole grain. Focaccia would be delicious too!
  • Spreads – Top the bread with mayonnaise, mustard (this deli-style mustard is my favorite), Thousand Island dressing, or even pesto.
  • Meats – I use a classic combination of roast beef, turkey, and ham. Add what you love, such as salami, corned beef, pastrami, soppressata, or mortadella.
  • Cheese – My go-to combo is Swiss and Colby Jack (or Pepper Jack). Other great options are Cheddar, American, Muenster, Gouda, or Provolone.
  • Fixings – Pile on your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, peppers, and olives.

Instructions

  1. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread one side with mayo and the other side with mustard.
  2. Layer the bread with lettuce, cheese, meat, and tomatoes. Add additional toppings as desired.
  3. Slice and serve. Use food picks to hold the sandwich together, if desired.
