I'm a Pittsburgh native, and hoagies are a staple-food there. Goodness, high school marching bands sell them as fund raisers! This is my favorite version, baked in the oven.
**Buy your bread from the bakery.
**Buy your meat from the deli, custom cut to thin but not too thin.
Ingredients
one hoagie roll, cut in half but not separated
3 slices hard salami
2 slices beef bologna
3 slices Virgina baked ham
4 slices of mild banana pepper rings
1 thin slice of red or sweet onion
1 slice of provolone cheese
mayonnaise or my recipe for Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing (see Blog Archives or use Search at top left corner)
lettuce
tomato
Preheat oven to 400.
Place open hoagie roll on ungreased cookie sheet. Layer with, in order, salami, bologna, ham, pepper rings, onion sliver, and provolone.
Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
Pile on the lettuce and tomato and serve with either mayonnaise or the Sweet and Sour Dressing drizzled over it all.
