Toasted Sub Sandwiches

Growing up in a small town in Oklahoma, we didn't have a lot of dining options.  We had a few fast food places and a few little local diners, but THE place to eat, was Pizza Hut. It was the place to go after church on Sundays or after a long day on the lake, and especially after Friday night football games. 


The thing about our Pizza Hut, is they had some options that I guess you can't find everywhere.  When we moved to Kansas City, I was very disappointed to find out I couldn't get Pan Bread(deep pan crust, smothered in garlic butter and melted mozzarella, served with marinara on the side!) or a Supreme Sandwich, which was a toasty, melty sub sandwich with ham, salami and mozzarella cheese, drenched in creamy Italian salad dressing. So, after a few years without, I decided could make them at home.  


We have changed up the meats and cheeses a little, and instead of individual loaves, I use a big loaf of bread and cut it up into individual servings(just because it's easier), but the over-all result is still very close. My family LOVES them!





Toasted Sub Sandwiches


1 large loaf of bread(french or italian)
1/2-1 lb deli ham of choice
1/2 lb deli hard salami
1/4 lb cheese (mozzarella or we used jalapeño    
                       colby/jack)
shredded lettuce
sliced tomatoes
sliced purple onion
creamy Italian salad dressing(we prefer kraft)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Slice bread lengthwise and place on a cookie sheet.
Cover one side of bread with desired amount of ham, then top with salami(I also had some left-over pepperoni that I used this time).


Cover the other slice of bread with cheese.


Place in preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes, then turn oven to broil.  Watch the sandwich very closely until the bread and meat are toasted and the cheese is melted.


Remove from oven, top with lettuce, tomatoes and onion. Drizzle dressing over the top and very carefully, assemble the sandwich.


Slice into servings and serve with Ruffle's potato chips, a pickle and extra dressing for dipping.
