What is a hoagie sandwich?

A hoagie sandwich is a sub sandwich that is filled with assorted Italian deli meats, cheeses, and other assorted fillings with a creamy dressing.

Are banana peppers hot?

No. Banana peppers have just a slight bit of heat and mostly “tang”….pretty much like a pickle since they come in a vinegar solution.

Can I substitute another ingredient for the banana peppers?

Well, if you prefer things a little more on the spicy side of like, use pepperoncini instead of the banana peppers – that will definitely liven things up for your taste buds.

Can I substitute different cheeses for the provolone cheese in this dip?

Yep! If I don’t have provolone, I substitute mozzarella and have even used Swiss a time or two – still a delicious dip.

Will this dip still taste good if I use low-fat mayonnaise instead of full-fat mayonnaise?

Absolutely!

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

You sure can, as long as you don’t stir in the lettuce until just prior to serving it. Otherwise, the lettuce gets too limp….you want it to be nice and crunchy when served so the dip has some good texture.

Would this dip be good served with toasted baguette slices instead of boring ole crackers?

Sure would – just slice the baguette and place the slices onto a baking sheet. Brush both sides with a bit of olive oil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until nicely golden brown, turning halfway through the baking time.
