  4. Next, layer your provolone cheese on top of the meats.
  5. Generously sprinkle the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, onion, and banana peppers over the cheese.
  6. Finally, drizzle the Italian dressing over the top, adding a touch of moisture and flavor.
  7. Carefully close the hoagie roll and gently press down to flatten slightly for a compact bite.
