Hoagie Sandwiches

Hoagies are built-to-order sandwiches filled with meat and cheese, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, topped off with a dash of oregano-vinegar dressing on an Italian roll. A true Italian Hoagie is made with Italian ham, prosciutto, salami, and provolone cheese, along with all the works. It was declared the “Official Sandwich of Philadelphia” in 1992.

The Hoagie was originally created in Philadelphia. There are a number of different versions to how the Hoagie got its name, but no matter what version is right (historians cannot seem to agree on the correct version), all agree that it started in Philadelphia or the towns' suburbs.

(1) The most widely accepted story centers on an area of Philadelphia known as Hog Island, which was home to a shipyard during World War I (1914-1918). The Italian immigrants working there would bring giant sandwiches made with cold cuts, spices, oil, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and peppers for their lunches. These workers were nicknamed “hoggies.” Over the years, the name was attached to the sandwiches, but under a different spelling.

(2) Another version on this story says that workers at Hog Island did bring this type of sandwich for lunch, but it was never called a hoagie. The story goes, that one day an Irish worker, who everyday carried an American cheese sandwich, looked enviously at his co-workers’ lunches and said; “If you wife will make me one of those things, I’ll buy it from you.” The man went home and said to his wife “Tomorrow, make two sandwiches, one for me and one for Hogan,” his co-worker’s name. So everyone started calling the sandwich “hogans,” which eventually go shorten to hoagie.

When Googling this, there are different kinds of hoagies.
What I soo liked and will never again make either a hamburger
without fried onions
To me the onions made the differents.

Think thats kinda the point I was making druid.

But hey ho, you should see my diet

Take a glass of red wine.

Most people who visit Philadelphia can't leave without trying a Philadelphia cheesesteak. Here are some tips so you can make your own at home.
Difficulty: N/A
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
Start with good beef. Pat’s uses sliced rib-eye. Jim’s uses USDA choice top round western steer beef.
Shave the beef very thin so it cooks quickly and remains tender.
Use a fresh high quality Italian roll - Amoroso’s is a favorite.
Decide if you want your steak with or without fried onions.
Decide if you want a steak or a cheesesteak. If you elect a cheesesteak you need to decide on American cheese, provolone or the Philly favorite "cheez whiz."
Any add-ons? Mushrooms, peppers, pizza sauce, tomatoes? You decide. It’s your sandwich.
Start to cook. Sauté the onions, peppers and mushrooms until soft.
Fry your steak until brown but not crispy or burned. You can mix in the fried vegetables now or add them at the end.
If you elect American cheese or provolone place the cheese on the meat until slightly melted. If you choose Cheez Whiz just smear it on the roll.
Place the roll over the meat/cheese/vegetables and scoop it into the sandwich.
Garnish your sandwich with pizza sauce, hot or sweet peppers or pickles as you choose.
Enjoy your Philadelphia cheesesteak.

that's them...so good!! It's all in the beef and preparation. Those frozen supermarket "Philly Cheesesteaks" have marks on the where the jocket was hitting the horse!

Cheez Whiz is the preferred choice by most people.

Actually, my diet is usually very healthy, so the times that I say "to heck with it!" aren't going to hurt me as much. I don't do it often...but when I do I get downright decadent (hence the waffles w/cherry pie filling and choc syrup!).

Same here, it is not something I eat everyday so am not worried

I LOVE mayo with my fries!! Also great with tater tots too!!

I like ketchup mixed with mayo

Mayo and ketchup together the best of both sauce worlds.

EEWWW!! My daughter does that all the time!! She also puts ketchup on her mac & cheese! I'm not big on ketchup, myself.

My ex-mom-in-law introduced me to putting mayo in my green beans! I know, I thought it sounded gross too... but it's really not!!
