This is the first dip I made that my boys were absolutely crazy about! If you're going to a party or watching the game and hoagies are not being served, this dip will be welcome!
Hope you love it if you try it:@)
Hoagie Dip (my notes)1/2 pound cooked ham, thinly sliced
1/2 pound Genoa salami, thinly sliced
1 pound American cheese, thinly sliced (way too much, suggest 1/2 pound Provolone)
2 C mayonnaise (use only enough to wet the ingredients)
2 tsp dried oregano (start with one tsp and add more to taste)
1 onion, chopped (small onion)
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes diced (seeded)
12 hoagie rolls, torn into pieces for dipping
Directions:
My Notes:
- This must make a huge amount of dip! Great for big parties, but easy enough to cut in half or make even less. I simply had the girl cut me a 1/4" thick slice of ham, Genoa and Provolone cheese and diced them to about 1/4". I scaled everything else down too. My dip made approx 2 Cups.
- On-line pictures show this being served in a hollowed out round loaf of artisan bread.
- Make sure you seed the tomato.
- Shred and chop the lettuce so there aren't real long strings.
- If you like hot or sweet peppers add them, just dry them on paper towels first.
- Would be great with cocktail rye bread, crackers, bagel or pita chips, and tortillas too.
- If you're taking this to a party, mix the meat and cheese, mayo, and oregano in a bowl. Dice the tomato and put it in a separate bag or bowl, do the same for the lettuce and onion. When you get to the party mix everything together before serving.
- This is more of a 'spoon onto bread' than 'dip the bread into' type of dip.
