I have a love affair with sandwiches. For Real. People used to tell me that I should open up my own sandwich shop.
But I’m more interested in eating sandwiches than making them for the masses. If I did have a sandwich shop these Hot Italian Sandwiches would definitely be on the menu!
Hot Italian Subs – Pro Tips:
- Pre-assemble these sandwiches and then they ready to go into the oven when you need them.
- Don’t have giardiniera mix? An olive mixture tastes great too!
- Leave sandwiches uncovered during baking for slightly crisp edges. Or, cover with foil to have soft-baked style sandwiches.
- Assembling these sandwiches is a great way to put the kids to work!

I am always texting my little brother to come get food. If I ate everything I made for my site I would have to spend 6 hours a day at the gym!
After my first bite of this sandwich I knew I needed them out of my house. I could have eaten the entire batch!
This was my brother’s response after tasting the sandwiches…
Thank Goodness for Little Brothers that eat all of my recipe creations!

Your resizing the servings slide is fantastic. First I have seen it. I frequently serve a group of retirees a luncheon and have to resize a recipe all the time for 30-40
My favorite breakfast menu I should not miss. 🙂
Yes, these sammies will warm you up!
Wondering if you cover the pan with foil when you bake them or just leave it open.
good
thank
Either way to your preference. For softer sandwiches go ahead and cover them. To lightly crisp the edges leave the sandwiches uncovered.
Hmm… it’s yummy, I think it’s easy to make this sandwich, I ‘ll try at home.. thanks for sharing..
My teenagers will love this ! Love how easy you made it look to throw all together. Blessings 🙂
I hope they love it! 🙂

Thanks!
My kids have recently started loving pepperoni so I totally need to look for the Oscar Mayer pepperoni! And these subs look amazing!
Thanks 😀
Thanks for the recipe! I will use tonight. When I read your post yesterday morning, I knew what I was making for dinner!.
Oh, I love these sammies 🙂
This was amazing, while family loved it!! I doubled the recipe, added an extra can of diced tomatoes and a tin of anchovies. This will be a Sunday staple!
So want to try cooking this recipe :-). Thanks for the information tips cooking recipes.
Have you ever assembled these ahead of time and froze them? I’m looking for a “freezer sandwhich” recipe & wondering if these would work? Thanks!
I have not. But, I think it would work fine 🙂
What is in the G mix?
It is a slightly spicy Italian veggie mix. It can be found at most grocery store, usually near the jarred pickles and pickled peppers.
How long would they last in the fridge if preassembled?
I would imagine several days then bake before needed. Just make sure any liquids are not sitting in the sandwiches during that time. Maybe add the giardinera just before heating.
Thanks for the recipe, Nicole! One quick question… am I blind or is there no actual video?
No you’re not blind. Weird, I’ll have to try to figure out where the video disappeared too. A video exists, its just no longer showing on the post :/
What brand of Hoagie Rolls did you use?
I added pizza sauce and red onion to mine and left off the Giardiniera Mix. It was delicious and so easy to make!
