Italian Grinder

So we went to Costco the other day, and after sampling the deliciousness of the salami I ended coming home with a couple packages.  Now what to do?!  I wasn't going to eat the entire package as-is!  I looked back to my good old list of recipes I wanted to try, and this one popped up.  These turned out really yummy and super easy.  It's good for those weekdays when you have NO time because of crazy-busy schedules.

We also made some pizza with the sauce, cheese, more pepperocinis, pepperoni, salami, olives, and mozzarella cheese (sorry, no pic...got gobbled up too fast!).  I am also thinking about an antipasto salad of some sort...stay tuned for that!

Italian Grinder

1 Crusty hoagie
Mayonnaise, to taste
Ham
Salami
Pepperoni
3 slices of provolone
Shredded lettuce
Tomato slices
Pepperocini
Italian dressing, to taste
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Crushed red pepper, to taste

Spread mayonnaise on each side of each side of the hoagie bun. Layer each side of the hoagie with ham, salami, and pepperoni then layer the provolone cheese down the center. Place into the broiler (on low) and cook, watching carefully, for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Place the lettuce down the center followed by the tomatoes and pepperocinis. Drizzle the top with Italian dressing, to taste and a sprinkling of sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, crushed red pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
