A few years back I met the owners and was sold on Firehouse Subs. They use higher quality meats, they take care with their sandwiches and they donate money from every store to the EMT/Fire departments in that neighborhood. I LOVE that!!!

Tips, Tricks and FAQs
There are a lot of different types of sub roll you can use for making sandwiches at home. I’ve used Bolillos – which is a french bread typically made in Mexico. They work great for this sandwich and are very affordable (3 for $1). I’ve also bought mini-sub rolls to make a smaller sandwich.
Super easy with my favorite steamer! Just add 1/4 cup or less of water in the bottom and then lay your meat in the steamer basket and cover. Steam for 1 min in the microwave.
My favorite sauce is Captain Sorenson’s Datil Pepper Sauce – they say it’s hot and spicy – and I’m kind of a wuss – and I don’t think it’s too spicy. BUT it’s got so much FLAVOR! It’s sweet and zingy – omg – my favorite. I just ran out and can’t wait to get a new bottle!

I work at my local Firehouse and I was curious to try the copycat recipe, since I’m very familiar with making them at work. The only difference is that you want to use deli-sliced meat if you can find it, unless you prefer the texture of the thicker meat. We also use italian dressing instead of balsamic vinaigrette, but as far as I know that could vary by location and is also a matter of personal preference.
I LOVE this copycat version. So nice to be able to make this sub myself at home.
I just had this for dinner and it was so flavorful! Loved it!
This sub is calling my name! I know that I am going to be having this for lunch all the time. Thanks so much for the recipe 😉
I’m not usually the biggest fan of corned beef, but it was great in this combination of ingredients! Thanks!
This is one of our favorite subs! So glad we can make it easily at home! Use the air fryer and it worked like a charm!
I made just as you said and loved it!
Thank you!
wooohoo!
