This makes one massive, flavor-packed loaded sub—perfect for sharing (or not 😏).
I think Scooby & Shaggy would approve!
Loaded Sub Sandwich
Ingredients: 1 large loaf French bread
Mayonnaise or softened butter (for spreading)
Garlic powder
Dried parsley
Assorted sliced deli meats (your choice: turkey, ham, salami, roast beef, etc.)
Sliced or shredded cheese (provolone, mozzarella, cheddar, etc.)
8 oz shredded lettuce
1–2 sliced red onions
8 oz chopped pepperoncini peppers
Chopped pickles (dill or bread & butter)
Any other veggies you like (tomatoes, banana peppers, olives, etc.)
½–1 cup mayonnaise (or more to taste)
2–3 tbsp submarine/Italian dressing (or red wine vinegar + oil mix)
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1–2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Optional: melted butter for drizzling
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom.
Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise or softened butter on both cut sides of the bread.
Sprinkle generously with garlic powder and dried parsley.
Place the bread halves (cut side up) on a baking sheet and bake for 5–7 minutes until lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove from oven and set aside.
While the bread toasts, layer your sliced meats and cheeses on the bottom half of the toasted bread. Return it to the oven for about 5 minutes (or until the cheese is melted and bubbly).
In a medium bowl, mix together:8 oz shredded lettuce
Sliced red onions
Chopped pepperoncini
Chopped pickles
Any other veggies you’re using
½–1 cup mayonnaise
2–3 tbsp submarine dressing (or Italian dressing)
A pinch of red pepper flakes
Toss everything until evenly coated.
Remove the sandwich from the oven.
Pile the dressed veggie mixture generously on top of the melted cheese and meats.
Drizzle with a little melted butter if desired.
Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the top half of the bread, press down gently, slice into portions, and enjoy immediately while it’s warm and gooey!
“Social media decided it.”
No. Miami beat you week one, then Miami fans spent a month explaining why it mattered while ND fans spammed excuses. You had NBC, years of brand equity, and the entire national media behind you. These guys are shameless and can never admit when wrong.
