This Hummer Sandwich is a massive, meat-lovers sandwich loaded with roast beef, black forest ham and pastrami, then topped with provolone cheese and heated until melty. It’s a soft, sink-your-teeth-into-it, ooey, gooey, cheesey sandwich you will absolutely love!
With Monday’s Easy Microwave Potato Chips recipe, I felt it was only appropriate to give you a monster sandwich to go with those lovely chips.
{p.s. before I get to the recipe + post, please be sure to read the bottom, because I have a few things to tell you!…} 🙂
Ok, let’s get to this sandwich I’m so excited to share! This is one of our all-time favorite sandwiches that originated at our most favorite pub and restaurant evah!
Yes, it’s a copycat of Apogee Pub & Eatery‘s Hummer Sandwich. Apogee is a local restaurant that consistently delivers amazingly delicious food. Like crazy delicious!
This story goes back a looooong time… The Apogee Pub is where The Husband and I met 25 years ago and it’s been our go-to Pub ever since! Because their food is so amazing, I wanted to share just one of the many, many things we like to order on their menu.
As you can probably tell by its name, the Hummer is a massive, meat-lovers sandwich loaded with roast beef, ham and pastrami, layered with provolone cheese, then wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and tossed in the oven until warm and melted until the ooey-gooey deliciousness stage.
And, to make it even better, it’s served with a pickle, onions and tomatoes on the side. And, a dash of horseradish if you so choose! 🙂
Trust me…this is one FABulous sandwich! I kid you not. It’s the bomb of sandwiches!
Ok, let’s get onto announcements and other news…

Love the story behind you and your husband’s meeting place, and this sandwich sounds awesome! I would definitely be slathering horseradish all over it, too! Pinned. 🙂

A definitely meat lover sandwich:) I am sure it was really tasty.
Kristi says
On this one Ella – yes! On this particular post, all vegetarians need not apply! Hahaha! I like veggie sandwiches too (and I have an amazing recipe coming soon!), but for this recipe – it definitely doesn’t qualify! 🙂
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
I love everything about this monster sandwich, especially the horseradish – what a great idea! I also love your new About page, it’s so nice to get to know a little more about you.

Thanks Joanie! OMGosh that About page was hard! It’s so hard to write about yourself!!! And, I’m with you my sistah…I love me some hot horseradish! I hope you stay a reader! 🙂

Ashley says
Oh gosh my husband would go NUTS for this sandwich!! It sure does look good!! And I mean if you say it’s the bomb of sandwiches … well then 🙂
Kristi says
Hahahahaha! **MY** husband goes NUTS for this sandwich – and his claim IS that IT IS THE BOMB. 🙂 Our two men – great minds think alike. The good news Ashley?…it’s super simple, easy peasy for both of us to make, and we get to look like a hero! Winner winner, sub-sandwich dinner! LOL.

This sandwich looks really good Kristi!! I could go for one right now!!
Kristi says
Thanks Renee! It is a monster for sure. Now, I am going to check out your Crock Pot Beef Tamale Pie! Because that is sounding some tasty right there!
[email protected] in the Kitchen says
Just jumped over to your “About” page and it is SO cool that your husband has joined you in the blogging world!! (My hubby joins me too….sometimes) I’m so happy for you both and wish you the absolute best in your business endeavor! I hope we can all meet someday!!
Kristi says
Thank you Renee! He has made a world of difference for me – it gives me more time to be creative and write and not have to focus on the business side of it. I love ALL of it, but I don’t have time when I work full-time. So he’s definitely a welcome addition, and it’s such a fun thing to do together! And, just so you know…WE (you and me, my sistah!) are meeting some day. There’s no doubt about that! xoxo
Amira says
Woow this for sure will be one of my to go recipes… I have a family of carnivores and I bet they will like this so much.

Who wouldn’t love this meat packed sandwich with melted cheese?!!! And such fun memories of the restaurant which inspired it.
Kristi says
Thanks Liz! We love that restaurant! And, we eat there all the time! 🙂
Kelly says
This is one epic looking sandwich! I love how jam-packed it is, my husband would devour this crazy fast! It looks incredible! So cool that you and your husband still go to the pub that you met at – we moved away from where we met so I think that’s adorable!
Kristi says
The Husband LOVES this sandwich Kelly! And, I have to admit, I do too! And I’m so glad that the Apogee is still there – and making the same phenomenal food. 🙂
[email protected] Whole and Heavenly Oven says
I’m always up for a deli-style sandwich and I love your take on the Hummer, Kristi! My meat-lovin’ carnivorous family would gobble these right up!
