Steps

  1. Spread the slices with mayonnaise, mustard, or other condiments of your choice. For a different flavor, drizzle oil and vinegar or a vinaigrette salad dressing lightly over the whole thing.

Alternate Method

  1. Prepare. Before making your submarine sandwich(es), make sure that you do the followings.
    • Have your apron on because this could get messy and stain your clothes.
    • Wear plastic gloves because your hands might have germs on it. If you don't have a pair of plastic glove just scrub your hands with soap and water.
  2. Open the French Bread. Add the slices of cheese inside then place is at the toasting oven if you want to toast it. Heat it for one minute and proceed to the next step after it's done. (Please note that toasting your bread is optional.)
  3. Heat the Sandwich Meat. Place is in the microwave oven and heat the thinly sliced sandwich meat for one minute. While the sandwich meat is heating proceed to the next step.
  4. Add the Vegetables On The French Bread. Here is a list of vegetables you might want to consider adding to your submarine sandwich.
    • Lettuce slices
    • Tomato slices
    • Cucumber slices
    • Green pepper slices

    • Onion slices
    • Olive slices
    • Pickle slices
    • Relish

    • Spinach slices
  5. Add the Sandwich Meat to Your Submarine Sandwich. Place your sandwich meat on top of the vegetables.
  6. Add the Condiments. Here is a list of condiments you might want to consider adding to your submarine sandwich.
    • Mustard
    • Ketchup
    • Mayonnaise
    • Oil

Tips

  • Have fun with it. Add something you wouldn't normally add. Who knows? It may be your new favorite!
  • If you like sandwiches, make a point to keep the ingredients for them on hand. The bread and the meat will generally freeze well enough. Get a fresh supply of veggies regularly.
  • Try putting small cut tomato and onion so the big pieces will not fall out of the sub.
  • Do toast meats, cheeses, and veggies such as peppers and tomatoes. Don't toast lettuce.
  • Try barbecue sauce instead of mayonnaise for a different flavor.

Warnings

  • Don't microwave bread, if you can help it. It makes it rubbery and soggy.
