My favorite sandwich at Subway is their Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sauce, so we decided to try it out at home! Â I found a recipe for the Sweet Onion sauce over on Food.com, and we tried it out with this week's bargain Perdue Short Cuts . . . so it was super easy and pretty inexpensive! While it wasn't exactly like the Subway sauce, it was pretty close and yummy for a busy weeknight meal.
Here's the recipe if you'd like to “cook” it up for your family . . .

OhMyGosh! I was just flipping through your meal deals to get some inspiration and I am SOOOOO happy to come across this! I am newly pregnant and the ONLY thing that has been sound good to me lately is Sweet Onion subs from Subway (random, I know). Totally not in the budget to have on a regular basis!! I can’t wait to try this!!! Thanks!!
Yayyyyy Jennifer! 🙂 Also – we went to Subway last night and the Sweet Onion Sub Footlongs are just $5 🙂 Homemade will be cheaper but not to bad a deal if you need to splurge!
As an Illini, your plate made my morning!
I-L-L! (I-N-I) . . .
My hubby and father-in-law went to college there, and my son would give anything to go (but we hear it’s almost impossible now to get in if you’re out of state!) I keep telling my son he may have to move when he goes to high school! We just went to a game two weeks ago (lovin’ the winning streak they’re on, no matter who they’re playing!) 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
