If I was going out to grab a sub, I’d be heading to Jersey Mike’s. No question about it. I’d get a sub Mike’s way, with vinegar and oil and salt and pepper and it’d disappear in no time. And if I wanted to make the same great sandwich at home, I’d make my copycat Jersey Mike’s sub. But if I’m in a big hurry and still want a great sub sandwich, I make my quick and easy cold cut sub sandwich. It’s not too different than what I can get at Jersey Mike’s. Main difference is that I use an off-the-shelf sub dressing that makes every sub great.
Use Great. Get Great.
Great bread, great meats, great cheese, fresh produce and a great dressing make for one heck of a great sandwich. This is how you beat the lunchtime blues. There’s nothing wimpy about this quick and easy cold cut sub sandwich. But you don’t get great without using great ingredients. So don’t skimp. Save on something else, not this.
Our local grocery store sells a roasted garlic sub roll that makes for the best sandwiches. Check your bakery section out, maybe you’ll find great bread too. Hopefully. It’s amazing how much good bread really changes a sandwich. You’re going to spend a lot of money for good meats, cheese and produce. Don’t stop at the bread.
Don’t Forget The Salt And Pepper
It may sound odd, but I actually think the two ingredients that are essential to a tasty sub are salt and pepper. Onions need seasoning. The tomatoes definitely need seasoning. And of course the lettuce needs it too.
