Oven Baked Hot Italian Sandwiches
The best thing about these Hot Italian Sandwiches is that you can easily make enough to feed a large crowd. So they are great for family functions, parties or game day food!
Simple Recipe + Few Dishes + Guaranteed Crowd Pleasing Meal = Winner!
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!
Tips → Tricks → Suggestions →
- 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!

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!

I totally agree – this sandwich is a winner! We love Oscar Mayer’s Old World line! Pinning!
Thanks Anna! I’m loving the Oscar Mayer Pepperoni!
where can I found the Oscar mayers 4oz lunch meat. I was at two stores and they did have it
I believe I bought it at Walmart. But this was years ago. Back then I either shopped at Walmart or Safeway 🙂
do you know where I can found the Oscar mayer meat for the sandwich
Whoa! These sammies look incredible!!! I know we’d just love them!
Thanks Ashley!
What is a Giardiniera Mix?
Hi Ashley! Giardiniera Mix is an Italian sandwich topping. Carrots, peppers, garlic, cauliflower and celery jarred in oil and spices. It is really delicious! You can find it near the jarred pickles and sandwich toppings.
Thanks for the information. I had no clue what it was . And these sound so good.
So glad to know about Oscar Meyer’s new line of pepperoni and salami! I love a sandwich like this!
It is really tasty! I especially like the Classic Pepperoni.
I LOVE that you baked them all together in one pan like that! Genius!
They are so easy to make this way … and delicious! Thanks Georganne!
Yeah, these look incredible! Hot Italian Sandwiches are my fave! Pinned!
Thanks Shawn!
IF you did have a sandwich shop, I would totally order one of these. Oscar Mayer FTW.
Hahaha, I think I’d eat all my profits!
These hot sandwiches look great! I had no idea Oscar Mayer made salami?!
Thanks Naomi!
I grew up in WI, so I have a soft spot for all things Oscar Meyer. Love these sandwiches, they look great for a weeknight dinner.
Thanks Erin!
My kids have recently started loving pepperoni so I totally need to look for the Oscar Mayer pepperoni! And these subs look amazing!
Thanks Deborah! I’m obsessed with this pepperoni!
I just made these tonight. YUMMMM!!! They were so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I couldn’t find any giardiniera in my local grocery store, so I just made them without. I’m sure they are even tastier with that included. I will definitely be making these again and will hopefully get to try it with the added giardiniera mix. Thanks for posting this! 🙂
Glad you like it, Melody! These sandwiches have been haunting my dreams. So Good! Even better with the giardiniera if you are able to find it.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!! It was exactly what I was looking for! I made this on mini hoagie rolls and added a little bit of garlic powder to the butter. They were phenomenal!!
Oh yeah, everything is better with garlic! Thanks!
We don’t do the traditional Thanksgiving dinner at our house… we mix it up every year to try something new!! Found your recipe on Pinterest today and decided that we will be having this for our feast along with a traditional cauliflower salad from my Italian grandmother. They sound amazing…. making a trial run for some friends over the coming weekend!! Can’t wait to try!! Thanks for posting!!
Sounds like a great Thanksgiving, Julie! Then you can enjoy family time instead of slaving away in the kitchen all day! Maybe I’ll do that this year too 🙂
What brand of giardiniera did you use? It seems like there are a million to choose from and having never tried it before, I’m not sure which to purchase. Thank you, Kim
I use the Mike Ditka brand and it is THE BEST that I have tried so far. It is chopped into small pieces and packed in oil. If you can find it, that is the brand that I would recommend.
Do you think these could be frozen or would they get soggy when thawed?
I would think that they might get soggy. But, I have never tried.
Just finished one of these and trying not to eat another…Delicious! I had never heard of the giardiniera mix either and now I want to find more recipes with it…thank you for sharing! From a happy, full family 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight and my family loved it. Thank you!
Awesome! So glad to hear it!
I made these last week for dinner – so tasty and so simple. My husband loved them and there was plenty of leftovers for the next day. I also liked how you made them economical to make. Thanks so much for helping me feed my family good food Nicole!
Awesome Theresa! I’m so happy to hear it!
Are you making the butter with actual italian seasoning, or the Good Season, italian dressing mix?
I use plain dried Italian seasoning. Enjoy!
Made these tonight and the family loved them. I switched out provolone versus mozzarella and used banana pepper instead. So simple and delicious after a long day at work. Thank you for the recipe.
So glad you and the family loved these sandwiches! They are perfect for an easy weeknight meal 🙂
I im from Iran and I love this food
Wow this is hot and delicious … perfect for rainy weather Indonesia
Yes, these sammies will warm you up!
I want to make them for an event but I don’t have access to an oven. I was thinking of wrapping each Sammie up in tin foil and layering them in an electric roaster, do you see any drawbacks to this?
I haven’t tried this method. I imagine it would do a good job keeping the sandwiches warm. My main concern would be that they may get dry if left too long.
These look and sound amazing!! Although, I am not much of a ham person…I was wondering if you’ve tried it replacing the Ham with Turkey?? Or is there another deli type meat you would recommend to use instead?
Hi Staci! Turkey should work just fine. Enjoy!
Hey Nicole, just ran into this recipe the other day and printed it out.
WOW. Those were delicious. Are they supposed to “serve 6”?
Partner and I only got 2 servings out of them, oddly……….. :))
Appreciate the great tasty recipe!!!!!!
Haha! I always feel weird choosing the servings amount. It totally depends how hungry you are!
Wondering if you cover the pan with foil when you bake them or just leave it open.
Making them tonight!
Sound amazing!
I think I replied to your question…I hope I did. Yes, you can cover with foil or leave uncovered if you prefer toasty bread.
hhhmmmm Deliciouse and yummi.. This is my favorite food 🙂
WOW! Look tasty, Should try to make it Yummy 🙂
Yes, these sammies will warm you up!
Wondering if you cover the pan with foil when you bake them or just leave it open.
Nice!!!
Sound amazing!
Either way. Uncovered the sandwiches get slightly crisp edges. Or cover with foil for soft warm sammies 🙂
choose the number of servings really depends stay hungry
Read this article makes me so hungry…. hahaha
Thank you for sharing
My job here is done 🙂
like this Wow this is hot and delicious … perfect for rainy weather Indonesia
I found this recipe through Pinterest, and am so glad I did! The whole family loved it (and that’s saying a lot with 3 picky eaters)! I love easy and delicious recipes!
I created a spreadsheet a few years ago to help me with meal planning, and have been updating it with every new recipe we try and like. It now contains around 90 meals, each categorized by main ingredient (Beef, Chicken, pasta, etc) and meal type (Mexican, Italian, American, etc), with a link to the recipe – yours included! It has saved me so much time with meal planning and making out my grocery list!
After talking with some friends, I thought this spreadsheet might be something worth sharing, so I have made it available from my blog to download for free! Now that my readers have your recipe, I’m sure they will be enjoying it as much as we do!
Wow this is hot and delicious , yummy
Thanks!
“Delicious food does not have to be complicated” . I agree with this statement, Yummy…
I have made these twice and they are just as yummy the first time! DELISH! Great for a quick weeknight meal when you are running to take your kids to their activities! HIGHLY recommend this dish!!!!
Awesome!
wowo may be my wife can make it
This is great, I’m not sure I can make it: D
Maybe I missed it, but what’s the oven temp…? 350?
Yep, 350 🙂
woww this is looking very nice, i love italian foods .. im from Indonesia
Thanks!
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! 🙂
i’ve been looking at this recipe for weeks meaning to make it, it looks delicious! but i’ve never used italian seasoning before. so i was wondering: what’s in the seasoning?
Here is a recipe for homemade Italian seasoning: https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/homemade-italian-seasoning-recipe/
Shared with my readers and pointed them here for directions. Thank sfor the recipe!
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!
