Ingredients

• 4 pieces Italian sandwich rolls or hoagie buns
• 8 slices Deli-sliced salami
• 8 slices Deli-sliced ham
• 8 slices Deli-sliced pepperoni
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Banana peppers
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Prepared Italian dressing
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 clove Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the Italian sandwich rolls or hoagie buns in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 3

In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the cut sides of the rolls.

Step 4

Toast the rolls in the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 5

Spread mayonnaise evenly on the toasted side of each bottom half of the rolls.

Step 6

Layer 2 slices each of salami, ham, and pepperoni on the bottom halves of the rolls.

Step 7

Add 1 slice of provolone cheese over the meats and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Evenly distribute banana peppers and red onion slices onto each sandwich. Place 2 basil leaves on each sandwich for a refreshing pop of flavor.

Step 9

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of prepared Italian dressing over each sandwich for added zest.

Step 10

Place the top halves of the rolls onto the sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil to ensure they stay warm and melty while baking.

Step 11

Bake the wrapped sandwiches in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are hot throughout.

Step 12

Carefully unwrap the sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy your hot Italian sandwiches with chips, a salad, or a warm bowl of soup!
