MEATBALL SUB SANDWICH



Meatball Sub Sandwich image

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.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SUB SANDWICH)



Italian Sausage Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sub Sandwich) image

All of the flavors go so well together...Sweet, spicy, nutty and fresh. It's refreshing and satisfying. I also made it easy by preparing it in the oven. You can make this on the stove top in a frying pan if you prefer. Turkey sausage is great too, I didn't list it or the oblong crusty bread rolls because food.com doesn't calculate the calories for them. The sriracha is optional because it is a 6th contest ingredient.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 links Italian sausages, uncooked (sweet or hot)
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced (I used 4 colors already sliced from Trader Joe's)
4 ounces reduced-fat swiss cheese, sliced (4 slices)
cooking spray
salt and pepper, if desired
1 French baguette, uncut (cut into four 8-inch portions or four 8-inch oblong crusty bread rolls)
1 -2 cup baby arugula
1/4 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise
1 -2 teaspoon hot chili sauce, sriracha (optional if you like it spicy)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 fresh garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray a large baking sheet.
  • Lay onion slices and bell pepper slices on the baking sheet and spray with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Prick sausages with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir and turn veggies and sausages at about 10 minutes so they don't burn on the bottom.
  • Puree sauce ingredients together. I used an immersion blender in a pyrex measuring cup. A mini food processor would work too.
  • Cut a wedge (making a V large enough for the sausage and veggies to fit in) out of each bread roll and spread the interior with basil sauce. You can spread the cut out wedge with sauce too or you can discard it.
  • Lay Swiss cheese slices over the sauce.
  • Place prepared bread rolls onto a second baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to your liking.
  • Remove from oven and place sausage into prepared bread rolls, cover with onions and peppers and top with arugula.
  • If you saved the cut out bread wedges you can eat them on the side.

Provided by Decorative Memories

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h15m

Yield 8 sandwiches, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2-2 lbs corned beef brisket
1 loaf French bread
8 slices baby swiss cheese
2 cups sauerkraut
2 cups thousand island dressing
olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook your corned beef brisket with the spice pack following the directions on the package, choosing your desired cooking method or place the brisket into your crock pot, cover with water, add spice pack, and cook on low for 6-8 hours until done.
  • Slice the cooked meat and set aside. Cut your loaf of french bread open and lay the two pieces side by side on a jelly roll pan. Brush a small amount of olive oil over the bread and put it under the broiler just until it is lightly toasted.
  • Remove the top portion of your french bread from the pan. Top the bottom half of the bread with sliced swiss cheese, corned beef, and sauerkraut. Place under the broiler for another 5-8 minutes or until toasty and hot. Drizzle with thousand island dressing and top with the top half of your toasted french bread.
  • Cut into 8 pieces and serve with extra thousand island dressing on the side for dipping. Reduced fat or fat-free thousand island dressing tastes great with this sandwich as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good sub sandwich starts with a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy. Popular choices include hoagies, baguettes, and Italian bread.
  • Layer your fillings: The key to a great sub sandwich is to layer the fillings so that each bite is full of flavor. Start with a layer of meat or cheese, then add vegetables, and finally top it off with a sauce.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sub sandwich will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, meats, and cheeses.
  • Don't overload your sandwich: A good sub sandwich is all about balance. Don't overload it with too many fillings or it will be difficult to eat.
  • Toast your bread: Toasting the bread before you build your sandwich will help it to hold up better and give it a nice crispy texture.
