Sink your teeth into the ultimate Grinder! We bake savory Italian meats and Provolone inside warm hoagie rolls until gooey and delicious. Full instructions and nutrition guide included.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Hoagie rolls or sub rolls
  • 1/2 pound Assorted Italian deli meats (turkey salami, smoked turkey, beef pepperoni)
  • 8 slices Provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 cups Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, so the rolls remain hinged.
  2. Step 2: Layer the Italian deli meats inside the opened rolls, ensuring even coverage. Place the slices of provolone cheese on top of the meat mixture.
  3. Step 3: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted and warmed through.
  4. Step 4: While the sandwiches bake, prepare the grinder topping: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise, red grape vinegar, olive oil, and dried oregano. Toss well until the lettuce is fully coated in the dressing.
  5. Step 5: Remove the baked sandwiches from the oven. Immediately stuff the prepared lettuce mixture generously inside the melted sandwiches and serve warm.

Notes

  • If you have leftovers, store the baked meat and cheese sandwiches separately from the dressed lettuce topping, refrigerating both in airtight containers for up to 2 days to prevent sogginess.
  • To reheat the baked sandwich foundation, wrap it loosely in foil and warm in a toaster oven or standard oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes before adding fresh grinder topping.
  • For a satisfying meal, serve these warm grinders alongside a simple crunchy side like kettle-cooked potato chips or a cup of hot tomato soup for dipping.
  • Elevate the texture by giving the layered deli meats a quick 60-second broil before adding the provolone cheese; this crisps the edges and concentrates the meaty flavors.
