There's no absolutely no contest: The only sandwich worthy of your game day spread is a sub. Or hoagie. Or grinder. Or hero. Whatever you call it, you know what we're talking about. There's nothing fussy about a game day sandwich, but it should be sufficiently messy. Serve 'em hot or serve 'em cold, but don't have a Super Bowl party without serving one of these sandwiches.
The cold cuts are really the point here—splurge on the good stuff at an Italian deli. Hit up the supermarket for everything else, including the pickled peppers.
This is genius: Make quick "meatballs" by removing Italian sausage from its casing and rolling it into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Set this spread on a big platter and let guests assemble their own sandwiches. Add a tray of cold cuts if you've got meat enthusiasts in the crowd.
A tangy Italian vinaigrette with plenty of oregano and basil makes these irresistible—and evokes your favorite red sauce restaurant.
The only thing that could make this combination of mayo, red peppers, and cheddar better? Crispy bacon.
This recipe is made essentially fool-proof by doctoring up a store-bought barbecue sauce and rotisserie chicken.
This recipe calls for a braised-pork shoulder; make it in advance and all you'll have to do on game day is assemble the sandwiches.
There's a fair amount of cayenne in these puppies. You have been warned.
