Nothing beats homemade subs for a nice family picnic. These are a great alternative to the traditional meat, cheese, and bread combination. Try some for your next picnic. Note you can also prepare these beforehand and then freeze them. They thaw nicely and then you bake them in the oven.
In a small mixing bowl combine 1 pkg cream cheese, 1/2 stick butter, 2 T minced garlic, and 2 squirts of mustard.
This is your sauce that will be spread on your bread
For my sub buns, I use the italian loaves from Meijer, but you can use Hoagie buns, or even regular hot dog buns.
Spread one half of the bread with your sauce mixture.
Add your favorite meats to it. We do one with chicken breast, salami, and provolone cheese
The other one we like ham, salami, and swiss cheese.
Close up and then wrap it in tin foil. Place in 350 oven for about 30 minutes. You want your cheese to melt. To serve you can then add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, mild pepper rings, and pickles. 
Awesome, unique and cheap idea….thanks! So simple yet looks sooo good!
These have been a hit at our local farmers market. We make these and take them to sell every Thursday and they are so yummy. Inexpensive if you can get the bread half priced like we do at the store:) Enjoy
Thank you for sharing! We are going to try this for supper tonight!
They are sooooooooooooo good you will not be disappointed!
Do you know if these are frozen how long they would cook or should you thaw them first? I’ve been using your recipes like crazy lately! I’ve made the subs, wraps, salsa, pizza sauce & hummus so far just this week :). Thanks!!
I have taken them from a frozen state and then cooked them on a lower heat setting like 275 for an hour and a half. If they are thawed, usually just need a heat up at 350 for 30 minutes. Check the center and make sure it is heated. If the outside is crusting, then turn down your setting. I am happy that you have been using some of our recipes:)we like them too:)
hello from Northern Ireland (U.K), i stumbled across your page from YouTube videos. I have a big family not quite as big as yours but you’re tips about recipes for batch cooking have helped up so much and saved us a fortune.
Thank you soo much 🙂 This recipe is so simple but it’s such a great idea we love it, thanks again 🙂
Hello to Ireland!!! So glad you found me:) I am thankful for the comments and appreciate them!
I recently found you on YouTube! I made these subs last night and they were a huge hit! I will definitely be making these again and will try freezing them as well!
My husband is a night worker. I get the big package of discounted hoagie buns or whatever they have and make these up and portion them. I throw them in the freezer and all I have to do it pull them out for his dinners. I make a similar one for the kiddos. You have been such an encouragement to me and my family. You are my person! I love seeing someone who runs their home so similar!
My husband worked nights for the first part of our marriage…it is hard:) I learned a lot about God and homemaking during that time. I had lots of time to learn:) Enjoy your day
Hello Amy,
I found you through YouTube. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes! I’m a Christian and mom of 3 boys aged 6, 3 and 2. Your freezer meals are so good. Also helps me get some extra free time for my boys when meals are ready to put in the oven. Looking forward to trying out more of your recipes.
Much love from Germany
Andrea
I appreciate your kind words thank you:)
We’re stuck here in self-isolation, and the kids are rebelling against another day of regular sandwiches! Thanks for this easy twist on lunch–gathering my fragments!
I am glad;)
