A delightful twist on the classic sub sandwich, these baked Italian subs are loaded with flavorful ingredients and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal melting of the cheese.
Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise.
Use a serrated knife for clean cuts without squishing the bread.
Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
On the bottom half of each roll, layer the cooked sausage, ham slices, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, sweet onion slices, and banana peppers.
Layering the ingredients evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper over the toppings.
Adjust the amount of pepper to suit your taste preferences.
Place the top halves of the rolls back on and wrap each sub tightly in aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Wrapping the subs in foil helps retain moisture and meld the flavors together.
Arrange the wrapped subs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check one sub to ensure the cheese is fully melted before removing from the oven.
Carefully unwrap the subs and serve immediately.
Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
