Equipment

  • cutting board
  • Knife
  • casserole dish
  • Small bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 8 count Mini Sub Buns
  • 9 ounces Sliced ham
  • 9 ounces Sliced salami
  • 1 package Sliced pepperoni
  • Ultra-Thin Provolone Cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 Red onion sliced thin in rings
  • 3 Tomatoes sliced thin
  • 1 jar Mild Pepper Rings
  • Lettuce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning into the mayonnaise.
  • Prep the onions, tomatoes and lettuce.
  • Generously spread some of the mayo mixture onto the bottom slice of the hoagie bun and then layer on about 3 tomato slices, 3 pieces of onion, and some lettuce.
  • Next, layer on the delicious meats! For our subs, I added 2 slices of ham, salami and a few pepperonis.
  • Of course no Italian Sub is complete without cheese! I folded 2 pieces of provolone cheese in half and put those on top of the meats. To finish off this yummy sandwich, I added a few pepper rings as well.
  • Once the sandwiches were assembled, I put 4 subs in each baking dish with the openings facing up and pressed tightly against each other.
  • Put in the oven for about 10 – 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.
  • Serve these mouth watering Hot Italian Subs right away!
