Subway Cold cut sandwich at home!

Subway offers a 6" Cold cut sandwich that is one of my favorites for about $3.75! Sadly, by the time you add in some chips and a drink you'll likely be over six bucks! And that cost was one reason, I sometimes like to make one of these up at my home. Sure, my sandwiches are nowhere as pretty as the commercial ones are, and I don't add in stuff like cheese. But, I feel that when you count the cost savings, that they are ever bit as tasty!

For this particular lunch, I elected to have a bit of deli coleslaw and a dab of three bean salad. Nutritionally, I came up with this:

For a 'beverage', I selected a glass of water with some Crystal Lite added that cost just a few pennies! All thing considered, that was not too shabby a meal deal!

Subway Cold Cuts knockoff!

As much as I love going to Subway to eat, I don't always have the time or the cash. To fix that, I purchased some of the ingredients at my local grocery and made myself a homemade version of their Cold Cuts sandwich at home!

Real deal at Subway!

Now, while I only had a few ingredients, I made do as best I could. Here's what I had to start with:

Sliced roast beef

Sliced ham

Romaine lettuce, shredded

Hot pepper rings

White onion

Mayo

Shredded cheddar cheese

1 Bolillo* roll

I began by slicing the roll long ways, laid it open face on a rack in a convection oven set to broil and then sprinkled it with some shredded cheese. I then set the oven and waited about 2 minutes for it to brown the surfaces and melt the cheese.

Next, I removed it from the oven and added a layer of meats followed by the peppers and onions. Lastly on went a layer of lettuce fallowed by a slathering of mayo. This baby was then ready to eat!

The taste was great, the calories livable and it was easy to make to boot!

Note: A bolillo (Spanish pronunciation: [boˈliʝo]) or pan francés (meaning "French bread") is a type of savory bread traditionally made in Mexico. It is a variation of the baguette, but shorter in length and is often baked in a stone oven.
