Introduction

The Scooby Doo Sandwich is a hearty, layered sub that packs in a variety of flavors and textures. This no-cook sandwich combines savory meats, fresh vegetables, and tangy condiments for a satisfying meal perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.

A long sandwich on a white baguette bread cut in half horizontally, filled with multiple layers: the bottom layer has thin white cheese slices, followed by folded thin slices of light brown turkey meat, topped with fresh green lettuce leaves and bright red tomato slices, then sprinkled with shredded white cheese on top; the sandwich rests on a dark rustic surface with some scattered green leaves around, and there is a soft candlelight in the dim background with a white marbled texture surface partially visible.

Ingredients

Large Sub Roll or French Bread: 1 whole loaf – Acts as the sturdy foundation for all those layers.
Mayonnaise: 2 tablespoons – Adds creaminess and binds layers.
Yellow Mustard: 1 tablespoon – Gives a tangy punch that cuts through the richness.
Lettuce: 1 cup shredded – Brings crunch and freshness.
Tomatoes: 2 medium, sliced – Juicy and brightens the flavor.
Turkey Slices: 4 slices – Lean and savory.
Ham Slices: 4 slices – Slightly sweet and salty.
Roast Beef Slices: 4 slices – Deep, meaty flavor.
Cheddar Cheese: 2 slices – Sharp, melty, and classic.
Swiss Cheese: 2 slices – Nutty and mild, great contrast to cheddar.
Pickles: ¼ cup sliced – Zesty crunch that cuts the richness.
Red Onion: ½ small, thinly sliced – Adds a sharp bite.
Cucumber Slices: ¼ cup – Refreshing and crisp.
Banana Peppers: 2 tablespoons – A mild kick and tang.
Salt and Pepper: To taste – Brings all the flavors to life.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Equipment – No need to turn on the stove; simply prepare your cutting board and knife.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients – Mix mayonnaise and mustard together and set aside as your signature spread.
Step 3: Prepare Your Cooking Vessel – Slice your bread lengthwise and gently hollow out some of the center to make room for fillings.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish – Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both sides of the bread. Start layering in this order: lettuce, tomatoes, turkey, ham, roast beef, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, red onions, pickles, cucumber slices, and banana peppers.
Step 5: Cook to Perfection – Although there’s no actual cooking, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and press it under a cutting board with weight for 15 minutes to meld flavors.
Step 6: Finishing Touches – Unwrap and slice the sandwich diagonally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy – Dig in with two hands and a big smile, or cut into sections to share with friends.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a splash of vinegar or your favorite Italian dressing to the mayo-mustard spread.
Swap out the roast beef for salami or pepperoni for a different deli meat profile.
Add avocado slices for creaminess and extra nutrition.
Use whole grain or gluten-free bread as a healthy alternative.

Storage

Wrap leftover sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day to maintain freshness. Reheat briefly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes if you prefer warm cheese. Avoid microwaving to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

A large sandwich on a white bread roll, cut in half lengthwise and held together with a toothpick in the center, rests on a wooden cutting board. The bottom layer shows slices of dark brown deli meat, topped by thick round slices of bright red tomato. Above the tomato are thin rings of purple onion, covered with a layer of shredded green lettuce mixed with a creamy white dressing. Some pieces of lettuce and dressing have fallen around the sandwich. A knife with a black handle lies next to the sandwich on the cutting board, and the background is a soft focus with a white marbled texture under the cutting board.

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?

What can I use instead of banana peppers?

If you don’t have banana peppers, try pickled jalapeños or pepperoncini for that mild tangy kick.
