Transform your weeknight dinners or meal prep routine with these irresistible Pizza Hoagies OAMC (Once-a-Month Cooking) – a freezer-friendly twist on classic pizza flavors! This recipe combines soft hoagie rolls brushed with a savory garlic butter mixture, then stuffed with layers of zesty pizza sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, hearty Italian sausage, and fresh veggies like green bell peppers and red onions. Ready in just 25 minutes, these toasted hoagies are perfect for quick family dinners, game-day snacks, or grab-and-go meals straight from the freezer. Whether served fresh out of the oven or reheated from frozen, these cheesy, flavor-packed sandwiches deliver all the comfort of pizza in a portable, sandwich-style form.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, keeping one side intact to create a hinge-like opening.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the inside of each hoagie roll with the seasoned butter mixture.
Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto the inside of each hoagie roll.
Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, cooked crumbled Italian sausage, diced green bell peppers, and red onion slices across all hoagie rolls.
Carefully press the hoagie rolls closed and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the hoagie rolls are lightly toasted.
Remove the Pizza Hoagies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. If freezing for later use, allow them to cool completely, then wrap each hoagie tightly in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
To reheat from frozen, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), place the wrapped hoagie on a baking sheet, and warm for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
