Hoagie Dip

Laura made this delicious dip for Superbowl 2013 and for tailgating parties.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion
• 2 pickled pepperoncini peppers
• ½ head iceberg lettuce
• 1 large tomato, halved and seeded
• ¼ pound deli-sliced genoa salami
• ¼ pound deli-sliced ham
• ¼ pound deli-sliced prosciutto
• ¼ pound deli-sliced roast turkey
• ¼ pound block of white cheddar, sliced or cubed
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1½ tsp. dried basil
• ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1 10-to-12-inch round loaf Italian bread
• 8 hoagie rolls, cut into pieces, for dipping
  

Instructions

1. Chop the onion, pepperoncini, lettuce, and tomato into bite-size pieces. Dice the meats and cheese.
2. Combine the chopped vegetables, meats and cheese in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, olive oil, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes and stir until everything is all mixed up and tasty. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. When ready to serve, carve out the center of the bread loaf to make a bowl (don’t cut through the bottom) and cut the scraps into bite-size pieces. Serve the hoagie dip in the bread bowl, along with the extra bread and hoagie rolls to scoop it up.
