Dinner ideas for my MAN?!

I'm Portuguese and my mom used to make this for my dad so I made it for my BF and he loved it. I think it's kinda different but manly and he loves to eat.

They are called Torpedoes. You get really good big delicious sub rolls like you get at subway (just a little more delicious) and you get ingredients like hamburger meat, hot Italian sausage (I used the turkey version which is delish) get a stick of pepperoni, and any other kind of meat items you like that go ...

Also get some mozzarella cheese shredded or fresh slices of it, a couple cans of sauce and a green pepper and an onion, plus a can of Italian stewed tomatoes and a can of tomato paste

Cut the onion and pepper kinda fine and grill a little in a skillet, then add all the meat (make sure you slice up your pepperoni) Grill up all you meat, season it how you like, drain it and put it in a big pot and add the sauce. You want it to be thick, like really thick and chunky meat sauce. Also some Italian style stewed tomatoes are really good and add small can of tomato paste if it needs to be thicker.

Just put it in a sub roll with some melted cheese on top and either some chips or a green salad or both on the side and voila a hearty meal a man will love. I made this on Sunday while he was watching the game! He ate two, he couldn't get enough!!!!

BBQ ribs or really big steak burgers done on the grill.Served with all the things he would like bacon,cheese, onions, mushrooms they have to be man sized or homemade Philly cheese steak sandwiches(and do not use steak-ums)
