MEATBALL SUB SANDWICH
Meatball subs in soggy, falling-apart buns are just the worst. That's why we recommend toasting our Tailgaters Brat Buns for this recipe. The heftier, toasty bread will stand up to all that meaty, marinara, mozzarella goodness.

SCREAMING EAGLE CHEESE-STEAK SUB
Every college has one: some kind of nasty-fantastic amalgam of cheese and meat and grease and bread and salt and melting awesomeness. From freshman year to graduation, you can eat these things twice a week and it will hurt you, but not badly - that is the magic of youth and appetite and America combined. After that, such a sandwich must be counted a special treat, and adapted to adult use. For this cheese steak sandwich, a version of the Screaming Eagle served in the dining halls of Boston College, the Jesuit university in Chestnut Hill, Mass., I made two essential changes: I used Cheddar in place of the usual white American the college uses; and I replaced the thin-shaved steak that is a hallmark of cheese steaks the world over with skirt steak. Doing so recalled Corinthians. When you are a child, American cheese and shaved steak can count as ambrosia. As an adult, it's kind of nasty. But skirt steak? Melting Cheddar? That is actually ambrosial. The fiery mayonnaise does the rest.

Steps:
- To make chipotle mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise and minced peppers in a small bowl and stir well. (Leftover sauce may be covered and stored safely in the refrigerator for weeks.)
- To make toppings for sandwich: Heat a griddle or a large, heavy frying pan, ideally cast iron, over medium heat. Add oil to pan and, when it begins to shimmer, add the onion and peppers and stir to combine. Cook, stirring every so often, until they begin to soften and brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove and set aside. Wipe pan, add butter and repeat process with mushrooms. Cook until they have released their juices and are soft and glazed, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- To make steaks: Heat griddle or frying pan over high heat until nearly smoking. Season meat aggressively with salt and pepper. Place steaks on griddle, working in batches if necessary, and cook for 3 minutes each side, until well browned but very rare. Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest.
- To make sandwiches: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. When steaks are complete, slice them against the grain as thinly as possible. Place sub rolls in oven to warm. Return sliced steaks to griddle or frying pan, over medium heat, and add onions, peppers and mushrooms. Stir to combine, turn heat to low and cover with sliced cheese. Using tongs and a wide spatula, stir and pull to combine as cheese melts, approximately 3 minutes.
- To serve: Remove rolls from oven and spread chipotle mayonnaise on the interior of each serving. Fill each sub with a mixture of meat, vegetables and cheese. Serve immediately.

BIG JOHN'S STEAK AND ONION SUB
"Big John's Steak and Onion" is a favorite local fast food franchise here in Flint, Michigan. They have been in business for as long as I can remember, and they are always very busy. The food is made-to-order on big grills right in front of you, so it wasn't hard to figure out how to duplicate this at home. I just wanted to share this recipe with those who may not otherwise get a chance to enjoy this incredible sandwich.

COPYCAT SUBWAY® ORCHARD CHICKEN SALAD SUB
I found this recipe when I was looking for this recipe or one close to it. I tried this at Subway and really liked it. Subway always uses light Mayo. In this recipe the salt and pepper are optional. Use more or less mayo to suit your own taste and the same with the fruits. I like to add a few more fruits. There is no cook time unless you are cooking your chicken for this recipe. I use left over or canned.

Tips:
- Always read the recipe thoroughly before you start cooking. This will help you understand the steps involved and ensure that you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment.
- Mise en place. This French term means "putting in place" and refers to the practice of preparing all of your ingredients and equipment before you start cooking. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling around looking for things while you're cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Follow the recipe carefully. Don't be afraid to experiment, but if you're new to cooking, it's best to stick to the recipe until you get the hang of it.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking meat or vegetables, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
- Season your food to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season your food, as this can ruin the flavor.
- Let your food rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat or vegetables, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to cook delicious meals at home that will impress your family and friends. Just remember to follow these tips and you'll be on your way to becoming a master chef!
