Italian Sub Squares Tasty and Simple Flavor Bites

Italian sub squares are a fun twist on a classic sub sandwich. They pack all the great flavors into a simple dish. You can enjoy them as an appetizer or a main meal.

To make these squares, I start with ground Italian sausage and turkey. These meats give a rich taste that is hard to resist. I add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder to boost the flavor. Cooking this mix until it’s brown brings out the best in the meats.

Next, I toss in diced bell peppers and red onion. These veggies add color and crunch. I also mix in black olives for a salty bite. Sautéing these ingredients together helps them blend nicely. After about five minutes, they become tender and fragrant.

Then, I stir in marinara sauce. This sauce makes the mixture juicy and adds a nice tang. It’s a key step that ties all the flavors together.

For the base, I use crescent roll dough. I roll it out in a greased baking dish, pressing it down to cover the bottom. This dough creates a soft, flaky layer. I layer the meat and veggie mix on top, followed by shredded provolone cheese.

Finally, I cover everything with another layer of crescent dough. I gently seal the edges to keep all that goodness inside. Baking it at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes gives it a golden brown top.

After it cools, I slice the dish into squares. Each bite is a delightful mix of flavors. I often garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness.They will surely impress friends and family alike!
