My college roommate and I first ate these meaty sandwiches at the Iowa State Fair. After a little experimenting, we re-created the recipe. We ate the subs often because they were fast to fix between classes and didn't break our next-to-nothing grocery budget. They're priced right at 91¢ per serving. —Christi Ross Mill Creek, Oklahoma

These were a big hit! Everybody loved them and they were very easy to make. I made a few minor changes: I used hoagie buns, Italian sausage and a cheddar/mozzarella blend.

I served this dish for for a snack and everyone really enjoyed it. I did use Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage, so it kinda had a breakfast flair to it, but it was delicious. Next time I will use Italian sausage to give it more of a sub taste that you would buy at a fair.

I often buy the day-old loaves of French bread at the grocery store and this is one of our favorite ways to use up that bread. Very quick and yummy!

These subs are just delicious! I have also had fun experimenting with other combinations. So far bacon cheeseburger is our favorite!
