Crock Pot Italian Hoagies
Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 4 hrs
Ingredients
- Servings: 6
- 1 oval loaf artisan bread, make sure it fits into your crock pot
- 18 slices provolone cheese
- 18 slices virginia ham
- 18 slices sweet capicola or 18 slices hot capicola
- 18 slices genoa salami
- sweet pepper rings, drained well to prevent sogginess (pickled banana peppers)
- red onion, thin slices
- oregano
- basil
- olive oil
Recipe
- 1 slice bread 13 times, almost all the way through but leaving 1/2 inch space at the bottom.
- 2 on a flat surface, layer three slices of cheese and top with 3 slices each of ham, capicola and salami. top with pepper rings and onions. sprinkle with oregano and basil and repeat 5 times.
- 3 fold each bundle in half and tuck (folded side towards the bottom) down between every other slice of bread to create 6 sandwiches. the sandwich may have "arched" its back, gently push down and wrap tightly in one large piece of foil then a second piece of heavy foil.
- 4 place in crock pot on top of a small aluminum foil pan or balls of foil so it does not touch bottom of insert. cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours.
- 5 remove foil-wrapped sandwich from crock pot. to serve, cut each sandwich apart, drizzle the insides lightly with olive oil. makes six sandwiches with the center two being quite generous in size.
- 6 note: depending on the size of your loaf, you may not need all the meat and cheese as the sandwiches on the ends are a bit smaller and will not hold as much.
