Italian Sub Sandwich Recipe

Updated on May 24th, 2018

My husband loves Italian subs! Whenever we go to a sandwich shop to dine out, he always – without fail – orders the Italian sub sandwich! I love trying to create his favorite recipes at home so he can enjoy his favorite meal at a fraction of the cost. Best of all, when you’re making your own sub sandwich, you get control and to customize the sandwich as much as you might need to fit your own personal preferences and dietary needs.

Italian Sub Sandwich



Ingredients:

  • French or other bakery聽loaf
  • Oscar Mayer Old World Style Pepperoni
  • Oscar Meyer Old World Style Salami
  • Mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Leafy lettuce
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Italian dressing

Start by cutting your loaf into 4-6″ sections and then slice open through the center cutting nearly all the way through.

Now, layer your pepperoni and salami onto your sub loaf.聽Top your meats with your sliced mozzarella cheese. If you like your subs toasted, toss your sandwich into a toaster oven or a sandwich grill. We used our panini press.

Oscar Mayer just introduced a whole line of Old World Style meats including their new pepperoni and salami pictured above! They come in big sandwich-ready slices so you can easily make your own favorite subs from home. Plus, these yummy meats are a great source of protein with up to 8 grams per serving!

We all enjoyed our homemade Italian subs! My boys called them their pizza subs since they recognized the pepperoni and mozzarella cheese from their favorite pizza variety, which made the sandwiches fun even for them! The sliced meats were really easy to use for our sandwiches, and to sneak a slice for snack, too.

Look for Oscar Mayer Old World Style meats in the refrigerated-meat section at retail stores nationwide.

    I have always just thought of Oscar Mayer as hot dogs. I am going to have to look for these next time I am at the store! Thanks for sharing.

    My favorite sandwich is a honey oat bun with ham,spinach,cucumber,green pepper,hot banana peppers and sub sauce. I often buy Oscar Mayer brand meats. Great for lunches.

    I’m actually not a fan of sub sandwiches. Usually, when I go to Subway, I order a pizza instead. However, the bread on this sandwich looks very good.

    I have to go shopping tomorrow and I’m looking for this meat as the italian sub is my hubby’s favorite sandwich! I prefer a roast beef.
