Italian Hoagies Recipe

These sandwiches are delicious, super quick to make, and VERY filling!  These tasty little guys are always a crowd pleaser!  You can serve them at a dinner party or on any night you are craving a real Italian hoagie. 

I have also tried this recipe with gluten-free rolls and they were a huge success among those that follow a gluten-free diet.  I usually serve these sandwiches with french fries but anything will surely taste amazing :)

(In the picture shown below, mine look slightly different than yours because I was unable to combine both my mushrooms and onions together because I accommodating for a picky eater.)

4. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese is melted.

Enjoy!!
