Italian Mixed Sub (hot or cold)

-JL-'s Note:

I used to run a small italian restaurant and this was our most popular sub. Some like it served as a cold sub, and others prefer it baked until the cheese melts and the roll is toasty. Either way, it's delicious.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 sub

• 1 bakery subrolls or 1 hoagie roll
• 1 tablespoon red wine and vinegar salad dressing (or bottled italian dressing)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• shredded lettuce
• sliced tomato
• sliced onion
• 2 tablespoons roasted red peppers , from a jar,chopped or sliced
• 4 slices capicola (an italian spiced ham you can get in almost any supermarket deli now)
• 3 slices regular ham
• 4 slices salami
• 4 slices sandwich pepperoni (you can get this at the supermarket deli)
• 3 -4 slices of your favorite cheese (on this sub, I like provolone best)

Directions:

1. Slice sub rolls all the way through& sprinkle each inside half with oil& vinegar mixture (or bottled italian dressing).
2. Spread a little mayo on top of that& add your lettuce, tomato& onion& roasted peppers on the bottom half.
3. Layer your meats on top of each other (fold each slice to fit on the roll) and top with cheese.
4. Eat cold or put in 450° oven on a cookie sheet until cheese melts& rolls are lightly browned.

Oh, yea! Definately a keeper. Walmart didn't have capicola (bummer), so I didn't use it. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I made this sandwich hot, which I prefer. I used the roasted red peppers as the recipe instructed. They were good. I think pepperocini's might also be good. I will try them next time. Thanks!

I made this for my parents when they came to visit for the weekend and it was a hit! We served it hot and I followed the recipe exactly.
