Dagwood sandwiches
Overstuffed layered meals
Dagwood sandwiches is the plural of Dagwood sandwich, an oversized sandwich stacked with multiple layers of meats, cheeses, and other fillings—so tall it's barely manageable to eat.
The name comes from Dagwood Bumstead, a comic strip character known for raiding the refrigerator to build towering sandwiches: He came back from the deli counter with enough for a Dagwood sandwich.
