Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 whole large sub roll or French bread loaf

Spread

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced pickles
  • ¼ cup cucumber slices
  • 2 tablespoons banana peppers

Meats and Cheese

  • 4 slices turkey
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices roast beef
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No stove or oven is necessary for this sandwich, but gather a cutting board and a sharp knife to prepare your ingredients.
  2. Mix the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and yellow mustard until smooth to create the signature spread that adds creaminess and tang.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Slice the sub roll or French bread lengthwise. Gently hollow out some of the center to make ample room for the abundant fillings without breaking the bread.
  4. Apply the Spread: Evenly spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both cut sides of the bread to ensure each bite is flavorful.
  5. Layer the Ingredients: Start layering the shredded lettuce followed by sliced tomatoes. Add the turkey, ham, and roast beef slices, then layer on the cheddar and Swiss cheeses. Top with red onion, pickles, cucumber slices, and banana peppers for a burst of fresh and tangy crunch.
  6. Press the Sandwich: Wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Place it under a cutting board or another flat surface weighted down for 15 minutes. This pressing step helps meld the flavors and slightly compresses the sandwich for the perfect texture.
  7. Season and Slice: Unwrap the sandwich carefully and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Slice diagonally to create manageable pieces for serving.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this loaded, delicious sandwich. It’s perfect to eat with your hands or to share with friends at a casual meal.

Notes

  • Use a sturdy sub roll or French bread so the sandwich holds together well with multiple layers.
  • The pressing step is key to melding flavors but avoid overpressing to keep the bread from getting soggy.
  • You can customize the sandwich by swapping out meats or cheeses based on preference.
  • For a spicier version, add jalapeños or substitute banana peppers with pepperoncini.
  • Keep the sandwich wrapped and refrigerated if not eating immediately; consume within 24 hours for freshness.
