Our Best Super Bowl Sandwich Recipes
We’re big fans of an epic spread of game day snacks featuring everything from nachos and wings to beer cocktails and sweets. There’s no denying, though, that a hearty and satisfying main dish is always the star player. And, while there are lots of great options to choose from, nothing is quite as easy to make (or as guaranteed to please) as a good, old-fashioned sandwich. Whether you choose pulled pork piled high on pillowy potato buns or opt for tender meatballs tucked into crusty rolls, you’re sure to pick a winner—starting with Jeff’s sloppy Joes. He says, "This is a classic bolognese…turned into an awesome sandwich." You can make it up to two days in advance and double the recipe for a crowd. And feel free to substitute ground turkey or all beef for the beef, pork and veal combo this recipe calls for.

Monster Muffaletta
The Sandwich King says, "This is a classic New Orleans sandwich that's hard to mess with, so I stuck to the original as much as possible. The olive salad can be done at least four days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It's great on everything!" For serving, Jeff says BBQ chips are a must.
