I make a lot of sandwiches over the fire when camping mostly because they taste good and because I like sandwiches, but also because they are portable and don’t require silverware.

Here’s a good sandwich that has the tastes of pepperoni pizza in it.

PIZZA HOAGIE SANDWICH RECIPE
Ingredients Needed:
hoagie buns (or any sub bun)
fresh mozarella cheese
fresh basil
fresh oregano
freshly shaved parmesan cheese (go for the high quality stuff - it has the best flavor)
deli pepperoni slices
jarred banana pepper slices or rings
marinara sauce
butter

Serve with extra marinara sauce that has been heated over the fire or grill in an aluminum foil pouch.

Note about cooking: When I first made these sandwiches, I cooked them on a grate over the fire, turning them several times to make sure they heated through evenly. Then one time when I feeling impatient I just tossed the tightly wrapped sandwiches directly into the fire, turning them once after a minute or two. It worked great. The only downside was having to be extra careful when opening them so we didn’t get ashes that had clung to the foil onto the sandwich (not a tasty addition).

Note about ingredient amounts: You’ve obviously noticed I didn’t put specific amounts for each ingredient. That’s because it varies widely when I make these. I have some family members who love pepperoni and use lots of it but avoid the banana pepper slices like they are going to give them a disease of some sort. Others in my family like extra cheese while one insists she hates basil (she doesn’t believe she’s eaten it plenty of times even though I’ve told her I mix it into sauces and pasta dishes). So I just put all the ingredients out, let everyone make their own sandwich, wrap it with foil, and have them use a black permanent marker to write their name on it so they know which one is theirs when it comes time to retrieve them from the fire.
