I love a good dip recipe. So whenever I have the opportunity to add a new dip recipe to my collection, I’m totally on board. Today, we’re making this Italian Hoagie Dip.
I first tasted this dip several years ago when my Dad’s wife made if for a family get-together. I have thought about it off and on since then because it’s been on my “To-Make-for-the-Blog” List. Well, the hoagie dip finally made it to the top of the list, and I’m excited to share it with you today.
This is the time of year for a recipe such as this. Dips go great with football parties and watching the big game on TV. As you know I also love a delicious dip recipe. I could make a meal of them!
Why You’ll Enjoy This Dip Recipe
- It’s familiar, but unique. If you’ve ever had a sub before you’ll recognize this delicious flavor combination. But, presented in this way, it feels really unique and special.
- You can customize it. Just like a submarine sandwich you can customize this hoagie dip to include all the ingredients you love.
- It’s hardy. If you want a dip that really fills you up. This is it.
I did not come up with the idea for this recipe. After doing an online search and looking through my recipe collection, I discovered that there are many versions of this dip. So, inspired by all of that, I gathered the ingredients I love and created what I think is a really good Italian Hoagie Dip.
Ingredients
One of the best parts of this dip, and hoagies in general, is that you choose the ingredients. It all depends on what you like and have on hand.
Here’s what I put in my Italian Hoagie Dip:
- Deli ham, chopped
- Genoa salami, chopped
- Deli pepperoni, chopped
- American cheese slices, chopped
- Iceberg lettuce, chopped
- Tomato, chopped
- Banana pepper rings, chopped
- Red onion, chopped
Other things you might want to add: sliced black olives, jalapeño peppers, sweet peppers, and mushrooms.
For the dressing, I combined mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and dried oregano. Feel free to add kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.
How to Make
Putting this dip together is easy. I’ll walk you through the steps here. You can also find a printable recipe card at the end of this post which included a full ingredient list and recipe instructions.
- After chopping each item, I toss it into a large bowl. Once everything is cut up, I get into the bowl with clean hands and break everything up. It’s okay if some of the meat and cheese slices stick together, but I like to break things up as much as I can.
- Next, whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour the mixture into the large bowl that contains the chopped ingredients. Toss to combine.

This makes SO much! Definitely didn’t need a half pound of all the meats and cheese
Haven’t made this yet, but wondering if it could be spread on a bun and eaten like a sandwich?
I made this for the Super Bowl and it was a big hit! Just wanted to say thank you!
This looks like it would actually make a great Italian hoagie SALAD served with some good Mancini’s Italian bread. YUM!
P.S. It’s just about time to make a batch of your fabulous Pumpkin bread too! That is without a doubt THE best pumpkin loaf ever.
You have the best dip recipes! I can’t wait to make this. I think it will be a lunch, and I will serve it in lettuce cups to be lower carb (the bread option would be delicious, no doubt!!)
