These tasty oven baked sub sandwiches are made with salami, turkey, ham, provolone cheese, tomato, and onion. You can assemble them up to 2 hours in advance and then bake them. They will also stay warm in the foil after being baked for about half an hour making them a great recipe to bring to a party or game.
6 hero (hoagie) rolls (6- to-8-inch), split lengthwise
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/2 pound sliced deli salami
1/2 pound sliced deli turkey
1/2 pound sliced deli ham
1/2 pound sliced deli provolone cheese
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly brush the insides of the rolls with the Italian salad dressing.
On the bottom half of each roll layer the salami, turkey, ham, provolone cheese, tomato, and onion.
Place the tops of the rolls on and wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil.
Place the foil-wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted (unwrap on end of the foil to peek).
When ready to serve, carefully remove the foil and slice the sandwiches in half. Serve warm.
Choose high-quality deli meats and cheese for the best flavor.
Add a layer of pesto or mustard for an extra kick of flavor.
To make the sandwiches crispy, unwrap them after baking and broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
For a spicy kick, add some sliced pepperoncini or pickled jalapenos to the sandwich.
Try adding different types of vegetables like roasted bell peppers or artichoke hearts.
To make the sandwiches more filling, add a layer of cooked bacon or avocado slices.
If you prefer a toasted bun, lightly toast the rolls before assembling the sandwiches.
For a gourmet touch, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the top of the sandwiches before serving.
A hero (hoagie) roll is a long, narrow sandwich roll typically used for making subs or hoagies.
You can use any dressing you prefer or make your own vinaigrette for added flavor.
Wrap the leftover sandwiches in foil and store them in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven to enjoy them warm again.
You can assemble the sandwiches up to 2 hours in advance and bake them right before serving.
Simply omit the deli meats and double up on the cheese or add grilled vegetables like zucchini or eggplant for a vegetarian option.
Wrapping the sandwiches in foil helps to keep them moist and warm while baking, making sure the cheese melts evenly.
You can swap out the provolone cheese for your favorite cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or Swiss.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I was raised in a town that had a family run pizza chain of about 5 or six stores (they had an awesome sub). Here's the best from our krewe's memory: Equal amounts of Genoa salami, Virginia ham and pepperoni. Provolone cheese, onion and mild banana peppers. Secret: pizza sauce on the top-side before baking it. I don't recall the Italian dressing although, sounds soggy. No foil but sounds like a good idea if taking them to go then wrap 'em up after baking. We bake ours at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melty. Hope you enjoy!

Just used turkey and ham (no salami because I couldn't find any that looked right at the store). It's a little hard to tell if the cheese is melted since it's wrapped in foil but it took longer than 15 minutes in my oven. Had to peek a couple of times but it was finally good and melty.

Made up 18 of these for my son and his friends last weekend. Very easy to make and they really turned out good. I'm going to try to see how long they can stay in foil before getting soggy to see if I can make them and then bring a bunch to the kids football games. I think the foil will keep them warm for a while so it should be a tasty experiment.

I had been looking for a recipe for this sandwich since trying it in a local restaurant. This one was perfect! My family loved it and my husband helps out. We make an assembly line. Thanks so much! I also made these and cut them for small finger sandwiches.
