What's your favorite homemade subs?
I've been obsessed with subs lately and fast food places are NOT cutting it. I made the pinnacle of Italian subs the other day, but I need MORE. I'm down to try any type of meat or condiment. I love spicy too, so don't be shy. I will eat anything.
For anyone interested in my Italian sub:
- Loaf of fresh bread
- Hard salami
- Sandwhich pepperoni
- Off the bone deli ham
- Fresh sliced provolone cheese
- Arugula
The condiments are what make this sandwhich so great. I didn't add celery in my giardiniera, but if you want to, feel free.
