What a funny name. Picnic Loaf. Are picnics still happening? All I know is making a giant stuffed sub sandwich is so much fun, where I eat it is another thing entirely,I bring you a new blueprint on how to make a fantastic layered sandwich. Sandwiches are all about curating good ingredients. No cooking, just good cured meats, your favorite loaf of bread, and some fresh cheese. Your sandwich will taste as delicious as the ingredients you buy for it. But then, of course, a tasty sauce will make everything better. My uncle Mike’s sub sauce will save any sandwiches day. It’s that good. If one thing you take from this recipe, take the sub sauce babes.
