These hot, meaty sandwiches have a tangy barbecue-style sauce rather than the more traditional Italian tomato sauce. Onion an pepper slices make each bite twice as nice. — Kim Marie Van Rheenen, Mendota, Illinois

Have been making these for years. I have turned them into burgers and top with cheddar cheese. Also use less water for a thicker sauce.
