It was my absolute favorite."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Italian sub squares are a delightful and hearty treat that\u2019s perfect for feeding a crowd, especially on game day or at family gatherings. This dish captures the essence of a classic Italian sub sandwich but in a fun, shareable form. It\u2019s loaded with layers of delicious meats, cheeses, and vegetables, all baked to perfection in a flaky crescent roll crust. These squares are satisfying and easy to handle, making them a favorite for both adults and kids.<br \/>\nThese Italian sub squares pair beautifully with a simple side salad or a bowl of minestrone soup. For a more Italian-American inspired meal, serve them alongside some crispy garlic bread and a heaping tray of antipasto with olives, marinated vegetables, and Italian cheeses. A fizzy soda or a chilled glass of sweet tea also makes for a refreshing accompaniment.<br \/>\nItalian Sub Squares<br \/>\nServings: 12<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<br \/>\n2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls<br \/>\n1\/2 pound of sliced ham<br \/>\n1\/2 pound of sliced salami<br \/>\n1\/2 pound of sliced provolone cheese<br \/>\n1\/2 cup of sliced pepperoni<br \/>\n1\/2 cup of banana pepper rings, drained<br \/>\n1\/2 cup of roasted red peppers, drained and sliced<br \/>\n1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning<br \/>\n1\/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese<br \/>\n1\/4 cup of olive oil<br \/>\nOptional: lettuce and tomato slices for serving<br \/>\nDirections<!--nextpage--><br \/>\n1.
