Eating a sandwich isn’t always the most exciting thing to do. But turn it into a submarine and you have something much better! Submarines come in many styles and as many flavours as you want. When it comes to preparing them, you just have to put your heart into it and let your imagination run wild. Since some submarine recipes are faster to make than others, and everyone is in a hurry tonight, here are the fastest submarines to make at home.

Steak for a timeless homemade submarine recipe

Beef is an important part of the submarine world. No wonder our menu offers many steak-based recipes. For a tasty meal that’s ready in no time flat, you don’t need much.

For a western-inspired recipe, take out a few slices of Philly steak, mozzarella cheese, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and lettuce. Sauté the mushrooms in a non-stick frying pan in a little oil, then add the onions. When you are done, take the same pan, add a little oil and brown the meat, carefully seasoning it with salt and pepper. Once nicely grilled, remove the meat, split the submarine bun in half and place it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread the meat, mushrooms and onions evenly over the open buns. Sprinkle the submarine with the cheese mixture and bake in the oven at 400°F for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, place lettuce and tomato slices on top of the buns and drizzle with herb vinaigrette. Enjoy. Nothing could be easier.

If you feel the urge, add pepperoni or fried capicollo, slices of green pepper or any other vegetable you like, in addition to the steak. This will give you a submarine that is closer to our Co-Star or Superstar.

Chicken joins the list of ingredients

Steak isn’t the only thing that makes good submarines. So does chicken. To prepare a chicken submarine, pull out your pan and brown chicken strips in a little oil. Remove the meat and brown a few slices of bacon until crispy. Assemble the same as the previous submarine. But this time, instead of adding herb dressing, serve this recipe with mayo or another creamy sauce of your choice like ranch or cheese sauce.

Vegetables find their spot on the plate

If meat doesn’t appeal to you, and you don’t want to eat a salad either, you can make an excellent vegetarian submarine. Our Field of Dreams is living proof. For a fast vegetarian submarine recipe, follow more or less the same process. We grill our vegetables, especially those that are very moist such as mushrooms and peppers, assemble on a long loaf of bread sliced in half and bake at 400°F until the cheese is melted. Finally, add lettuce and tomatoes, if desired, and drizzle with your favourite sauce, whether it’s mayonnaise or another dressing of your choice.
