Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the sliced meats, cheese, bell peppers, onions, Italian dressing, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Generously fill each roll with the meat and veggie mixture.

Bake the Sandwiches

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your tasty Italian sub sandwiches!

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a day or two.

Serving Suggestions

To create a well-rounded meal, serve these Italian Sub Sandwiches with a side of crispy potato chips, a tangy coleslaw, or a light green salad. The crunch and acidity from these sides perfectly complement the rich, savory flavors of the sandwiches, balancing out the meal superbly. Add some pickles or olives on the side for an additional zesty touch.

For a more elevated presentation, consider serving the sandwiches on a wooden platter along with dipping sauces, such as marinara or garlic butter. This not only enhances the visual appeal but allows for a fun, interactive dining experience where guests can dip and enjoy their sandwiches in different ways.

Chef's Tips for Success

When assembling your sandwiches, don’t be afraid to be generous with your fillings. A well-stuffed sandwich adds to the overall taste and prevents the rolls from being too dry. Make sure to evenly distribute the ingredients to ensure every bite is just as flavorful as the last.

Additionally, consider toasting the hoagie rolls before filling them. A brief toasting adds an extra layer of texture and prevents them from becoming too soggy during baking. Just a couple of minutes under the broiler will do the trick, creating a delectable crunch that complements the soft interior of the sandwich.
