When my girlfriend Cindy told me she was making her boy’s favorite Big Butt Sandwiches for dinner I literally laughed out loud. One of her boy’s named them years ago when they were little and the name just stuck. With an awesome name like that I just had to get the recipe from her so I could make them for my boys too. These Sammies are what I like to call a halfway homemade meal. You make it at home, so you know what’s in them, but use a couple convenience items from the market so you can whip them up in just a few quick minutes. The deli at my local market makes some of the tastiest fried chicken tenders and they’re perfect for these Sammies! Grab a couple fresh baked hoagie rolls from the bakery and you’re good to go!

Fry bacon in a skillet until crispy and golden brown. Remove from pan and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Gather together the remaining ingredients.

Ditch the store bought bottled Ranch salad dressing and make your own. Not only is this Copycat Recipe: Chili’s Creamy Buttermilk Ranch Dressing better than anything that comes in a bottle, it tastes a thousand times better and it’s so much better for you too!

Cut hoagie rolls in half horizontally.

Spread mayo onto each roll.

Place pepper jack cheese onto one half of each roll.

Place rolls in the oven and set oven temperature to “broil”. Broil until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. Remove from oven.

Place bacon slices onto one half of each roll.

Top with chicken tenders.

Drizzle chicken tenders with Ranch dressing and hot sauce.


Top with tomato slices and lettuce leaves.


Place the top half of the hoagie roll with the melted cheese on top.

Highly recommend cutting the sandwich in half to serve.

Enjoy your big butt sandwich! Now that’s what I call a dang good sandwich!

It’s funny how certain things our kids say when they’re little have a way of sticking. Not sure where Cindy’s boys came up with the name, because no one in her family has a big butt…LOL! I encourage you to give these easy to make, delicious sandwiches a try. They’re perfect for those nights when you need to make a quick stop at the market to pick up a few things on your way home from work. Toss some crispy chicken tenders into your cart and you’ll have these Sammies on the table in just a few quick minutes after you get home. You won’t get any complaints from your family when you serve these up…guaranteed!!!
Round out the meal with a side of The Crispiest Air Fryer Tater Tots. These tots are a family favorite around here! They’re crispy on the outside and hot and steamy on the inside…absolute perfection! Pop them in the air fryer to cook while you’re assembling the sandwiches for a quick, easy, tasty meal.
