Italian Sub

Italian Sub sandwich is one of the most iconic sub sandwiches rivaled only by a meatballs sub. Choice between the two would really come down to the personal preference.

For example, my husband would not even hesitate and choose an Italian Sub every time, where is my choice would go to a meatballs sub.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore the combination of meats and cheeses in this sub, I am just a sucker for meatballs.

This Italian Sub is made with all the classics. It’s loaded with salami, capicola ham, smoked ham, pepperoni, and lots of Fontina cheese. What makes it extra special is some spicy Italian sandwich mix and banana peppers.

If you haven’t tried adding banana peppers and spicy jalapeno pepper mix of your sub, don’t waste any time. Don’t for get to bake it in the oven for a few minutes!

This sandwich is very easy to make and you can whip it up in 15 minutes for lunch or even dinner. It’s hot, it’s spicy, it holds a lot of great flavors and it will rock your world!
