This dip is going to rock your world.
But first, for all of you who are all like, “WTF is a hoagie?” … let’s get this settled before I begin. A “hoagie” is the Philly word for a Sub Sandwich. A submarine. It’s all the same thing. In Philly… we call them hoagies. That’s all I’ve ever known, and all I’ll ever call it, so don’t try and convince me otherwise.
SO, this fabulous dip that I’m finally sharing with you (I made it for my Superbowl party!) is a mixture all of the delicious ingredients that go into an Italian Hoagie. As a dip. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa? I know. It’s ridiculous, and you have to trust me on this, you’re going to love it.
My boyfriend Dave’s obsession with Hoagie Dip started a few years ago, when our friend Allie brought over a grocery store deli-made container of it. He (and I) fell in love. Allie wasn’t welcome unless she had a container for a few years.
After not having the famous Hoagie Dip for some time, I decided it was my turn to give it a go and try to make it from scratch. It turned out amazing, and my favorite part being that it was customizable with light-mayo instead of whatever gross stuff they use at the store.
Ingredients:
1 Onion
1/2 cup Sliced Hot Banana Peppers
1/2 head Iceberg Lettuce
1 Tomato- halved and seeded
1/4 lb each of the following: Turkey Breast, Ham, Genoa Salami, & Sharp Provelone Cheese (that was the cheapest way for me to go, you can go fancy with the meats if you’d like)
1/2 cup Olive Oil Mayo
1 teaspoon EVOO
1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 Tablespoon Dried Basil
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Directions:
1. Chop the Onion, Banana Peppers, Tomato, and Iceberg into a small dice. Put into a bowl and set aside.
2. Chop the Deli Meats and Cheese into small squares/pieces and add into the bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Serve in a bread bowl if you’d like.
Easy-Peasy, right?! You can add Mayo if you want it to be a little creamier, but I liked it the way this turned out. It was much less mayo-ey than the store bought kind which I definitely appreciated. Serve this dip with Triscuits, sliced Baguettes, or really anything!
This dip tastes just like the real thing… an Italian Hoagie !!!!
Had to show off my bread bowl!

Tiffani June 30, 2016 at 2:26 PM How much would you say this makes? I am taking some appetizers to a party with 10 of us. This won’t be the only food by any means 😜 But would you recommend doubling the recipe? Thank you for sharing! Reply Beth @ Good to be the Cook June 30, 2016 at 10:01 PM Hi Tiffani! I think if it’s not the only app you’re probably good! We had the same amount of people maybe a few more. Let me know how it goes! Reply

em4283 February 23, 2015 at 8:31 PM Im going to try this and omit the lettuce and serve whole lettuce leaves on the side so you can wrap the mixture in the lettuce. Like a lettuce wrap. Reply

Rachel November 19, 2013 at 8:49 PM Wouldn’t the lettuce get soggy…? Reply Beth @ Good to be the Cook November 19, 2013 at 11:01 PM Nope, it stays crunchy- just make it before you serve it. I wouldn’t do it a day in advance Reply Nikki Kitahara June 16, 2015 at 2:19 PM I’ve actually used cabbage with great success. Reply

Tish Stoneking Pierce September 11, 2013 at 9:18 PM Why not put it on a Hoagie Bun and call it a HOAGIE…… Reply Beth @ Good to be the Cook September 11, 2013 at 9:23 PM LOL! Then you’d be eating a hoagie. Not one of the most awesome appetizers ever! Reply

Happy Valley Chow March 7, 2013 at 10:12 AM Is it bad that I kinda just want toe at this out of the bread bowl with a spoon?? This sounds delicious! I call it a hoagie as well and nobody will convince me otherwise either 😛 Reply Beth @ Good to be the Cook March 7, 2013 at 10:19 AM I had to read this like 8 times to understand that you wanted to eat the dip and not “toe – at – it” … too funny. It is so delicious, you’ll have to try it out! Reply Rose May 23, 2014 at 3:28 PM Thinking about adding more lettuce, cut the same, and some extra dressing and serving it as a salad.
