Craving a meaty sandwich with the perfect combination of ingredients? Prepare this Big Family Deli Sandwiches on a Sheet Pan recipe to satisfy your craving without making a mess.
What Are Deli Sandwiches?
We all need to feed our large family, and these traditional Deli sandwiches consist of ham, cheese, and other meats on a toasted roll to create a meaty, fulfilling sandwich. Not everyone makes these sandwiches the same way. If you follow this recipe, you can easily prepare sandwiches for everyone in the household.

What Do You Need to Make the Big Family Deli Sandwiches on a Sheet Pan?
When preparing the Big Family Deli Sandwiches on a sheet pan, be sure to have the following ingredients:
- French Bread. Grab two loaves of the bread or make your own French Bread, and slice it through lengthwise.
- Prepared Mustard. Use any brand and style of mustard that you personally enjoy eating with sandwiches.
- Swiss Cheese. Use 24 slides of Swiss cheese to ensure that each sandwich has a bit of cheese with the meat.
- Smoked Ham. Get smoked ham from the deli. Thinly sliced ham is the best to use. You can make your own ham if that’s what you prefer, too.
- Pork Roast. Get the pork roast thinly sliced at the deli, too.
You will also need dill pickles with pickle juice to complete these flavorful sandwiches. You can use salt and pepper to taste, but it is optional. Most lunch meats contain plenty of sodium, so you do not need to add any extra salt if you do not feel like you need it.
What Soup or Salad would go with this Meal?
You might be thinking that you want to expand this meal into a soup and sandwiches meal. Great idea, and I’ve got you covered! Expanding it into a warm soupy meal is a great idea on a cold day. This meal would go great with my Stuffed Pepper Stew, a nice Minestrone Soup, Tortellini Sausage Soup, or even a vegetable beef soup.
On the other side, maybe it’s warmer outside and you prefer adding something cold. I’ve got a Grilled Chicken Berry Blue Salad, Marinated Cucumber Salad, Cranberry Apple Salad, and a Layered Spring Salad.
Other Sides to Serve with Your meal
These Deli Sandwiches on a Sheet Pan will taste great with a side of sliced deli pickles and crispy chips. You might want to serve plain chips, salt and vinegar chips, or barbecue chips on the side with your sandwiches. If you do not want chips, macaroni salad is another great side to enjoy with these sandwiches.
Does the Type of Lunch Meat Matter?
While Deli sandwiches typically consist of ham and pork roast, you can use alternative options if you need to. For example, you may prefer to use deli roast beef instead of pork roast. You can use smoked turkey breast instead of smoked ham. Some people use pulled pork instead of pork roast. If you decide to stick with the original ingredients, you can choose from different brands and variations of the pork roast and ham that the deli can offer you.
Can I Make this Dairy-Free?
The provolone cheese melts perfectly and tastes great with the marinara sauce and deli meats. However, if you want to make this a dairy-free dish, you can skip the provolone cheese altogether, and replace the butter with an oil of your choice. You can also replace the cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative of your choice.
