Italian Hoagie Dip Pitas Recipe

These Italian Hoagie Dip Pitas are a hybrid of a grinder hoagie and a stuffed pita. What’s a grinder you ask? Back in Pennsylvania where we’re from, it means the hoagie is heated after it’s assembled to melt the cheese and heat the rest of the toppings through. And now we live in North Carolina, home state of Mt. Olive Pickles—whose Italian-seasoned Banana Pepper Rings are THE peppers to use in this recipe.`
