Ingredients

Scale

For the subs:

4 hoagie rolls
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
8 slices chicken ham
8 slices beef salami
8 slices turkey bacon, cooked
8 slices provolone cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers (optional)

For finishing:

¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sliced red onions
¼ cup shredded lettuce
Tomato slices

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2️⃣ Prepare the rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through, keeping the back intact.

3️⃣ Butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the inside of each roll generously with this mixture.

4️⃣ Layer the meats and cheese: Add 2 slices each of chicken ham, beef salami, and turkey bacon to each roll. Top with 2 slices of provolone cheese.

5️⃣ Add mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the filling in each sandwich.

6️⃣ Optional heat: Add sliced pepperoncini peppers for a spicy kick, then gently close the rolls.

7️⃣ Wrap and bake: Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil.

8️⃣ Bake: Place the foil-wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are heated through.

9️⃣ Top and serve: Carefully unwrap the sandwiches, then add mayonnaise, red onions, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or hot giardiniera for heat.
Cheese it up: Substitute provolone with Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack.
Meal prep friendly: Wrap sandwiches in foil and refrigerate before baking for a quick meal later.
Crispy roll option: Lightly toast rolls before assembling for extra crunch.
