Monday's Recipe

In honor of the Steelers' ass-puckering Super Bowl win yesterday, from which I am still recovering, here is a great party recipe. It was originally posted on a friend's Facebook page. Thanks for sharing this, Kim! If only I'd remembered to share it before the big game. I myself haven't had the opportunity to make this yet, but it look fabulous! One thing I like about it is you could probably fancy it up by substituting, say, peppered turkey, black forest ham, and swiss for the meat and cheese, and some fancy ciabatta or french bread (obviously you'd eliminate the oregano). Maybe some red onion for color?

Hoagie Dip

1/2 lb salami
1/2 lb ham
1 lb american cheese
1 package hoagie buns
(dice all of these into bite size pieces)

1 small onion, diced
2 tsp oregano
2 cups mayonnaise (real mayo, for the love of God, please!)

1/2 head lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, diced

Mix together all ingredients except for lettuce and tomato and spoon evenly into casserole dish. Top with shredded lettuce and tomato just prior to serving. Serve with crackers.
