Hot Italian Sub Sliders - The Jam Jar Kitchen (1)

With football season starting up again and the holidays upon us I am on a search for delicious recipes that come together easily and are perfect for entertaining. And these Hot Italian Sub Sandwiches fit that bill flawlessly.

These sliders are piled high with my favorite Italian deli meats, cheese and slices of Mezzetta peperoncini and hot cherry peppers. You can make them more or less spicy by subbing out peperoncini for jalapenos. Or add roasted red pepper in place of the hot cherry peppers.

These sliders are delicious on their own or I like to serve them with a side of marinara for dipping. I hope you enjoy these sandwiches as much as we do!

How to make Italian sub sliders

  1. Assemble the sliders.

    Cut the rolls in half crosswise then layer on ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone and the peperoncini and hot cherry pepper slices. Then replace the top half of the rolls.

  2. Brush on the seasoned butter.

    Melt ¼ cup of salted butter and then stir in 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and 2 crushed garlic cloves. Brush the butter mixture over the top of the sliders.

  3. Bake and enjoy!

    Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut and serve warm. Enjoy!

Recipe FAQs

Is this recipe spicy?

These sliders definitely have kick from the hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini but I wouldn't call it overly spicy. If you prefer a more mild dish then you can substitute the pepperoncini for mild banana peppers and the cherry peppers for roasted red peppers.

If you want more of a kick then add extra peppers or include a few sliced habaneros or other chiles.

Can this recipe be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd?

Absolutely! This is a great recipe to make for a crowd because it is so easy to double. If available, Kings makes 18 packs and even 24 packs of their Hawaiian rolls to make it extra simple.

What if I can't find Kings Hawaiian rolls?

You can use any dinner rolls that are connected for this recipe.

Serving Suggestions

These sliders are best served warm, straight out of the oven. I love to serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

        Loved this, I had to modify slightly, I didn't have ham, but used a good quality Italian beef, thinly sliced, it was excellent. Thank you for sharing this!

    Question, since you're overlapping the meat do you have to cut the sandwiches instead of pulling them apart? Looks yummy!

      Hi there! Yes, I typically use a large knife to cut and then serve. Hope you enjoy!

    This is so smart! I see people making ham and cheese sandwiches with the Hawaiian rolls but this was an amazing take! We love making Italian subs in our house but they always take so long. This was a great way to make a ton at once! We had a bunch left over I ended up giving 2 to our carpet cleaning guy that came over the next day after our family party! He said it was the best lunch break he's ever had on the job, ha!

    My only mistake was not making more. I made 2 dozen. Didn’t have enough for my grandsons lunch the next day. I used mozzarella instead and left out the cherry pepper. Will definitely do again.

    Do you think these could be heated on a barbecue at the beach instead of the oven?

    Reply

    • Hot Italian Sub Sliders - The Jam Jar Kitchen (34)jamjarkitchen

      I think it would work with a charcoal closed lid BBQ no problem. My only concern would be it burning a bit on the bottom but you can check for that and adjust the heat accordingly. Please let me know if you try it and how it comes out. 🙂
