Toasted to perfection, these Italian Subs are a quick and easy meal filled with meats and cheeses that you cannot resist. Perfect for any day of the week and will fill you up.
I’m keen on sandwiches, they are one of those meals that you can just go to and seem to always come out tasty. These Italian Subs are one of my favorites.
Loaded with meats, cheese, garlic butter, and some peppers, they have the perfect flavor combination that melts in your mouth with each and every bite.
We keep these on our menu at least once a month. The best part is that they can be made year-round, none of that seasonal food – these are great anytime.
You can make as many or as little as you want, but trust me, you might want to keep some on hand for eating later. They are just that good.
If you are looking for a new sandwich to throw together that doesn’t take a lot of time or prep, then you need to try my Baked Italian Subs.

CAN I ADD A SAUCE TO THESE SANDWICHES?
If you want to add a little extra flavor, you can absolutely add some sauces. Some of our favorites that we have used either on the sub or dipping in are a creamy Italian dressing, garlic aioli, mayo, or red wine vinegar with olive oil.
WHAT OTHER MEATS GO WELL ON THIS?
While we like to keep this classic and simple using ham, salami, and pepperoni, you can amp it up a notch and either replace some of the meats or add some.
Some others that we have used are soppressata, porchetta, and prosciutto. Feel free to add whatever meat you think complements these sandwiches.
CAN I USE ANOTHER TYPE OF ROLL?
While the basic hoagie roll is more traditional for a sub sandwich, we like to switch it up from time to time and add some additional flavor. Another great roll is a sesame seed hoagie roll.
You can also find other variations like an Italian herb flavored roll or a cheese roll. It really tastes great with whatever you put it on.
HOW TO STORE:
These Italian Subs can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator, where they will keep for3 days. We do not recommend freezing these subs.
The best way to reheat is to wrap it in foil and place it back in the oven until everything is warmed through.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- You can add other toppings to these, such as tomatoes, lettuce, onions, peppers, or a zesty giardiniera.
- You can serve these alone or with potato salad, coleslaw, chips, or a side salad.
- Other cheeses can be used, provolone is our first choice, but you can use mozzarella or muenster as well.
- Switch up your meats, see above on ideas.
- Replace the regular hoagie roll with a sesame one.
- Add some sauces to spice it up, see above for some ideas.
- We do not recommend freezing these.
- These do not need to be baked, but they are better if they are.
