Seven Layer Hoagie Dip captures the bold flavors of a classic Italian hoagie in a shareable dip—perfect for game day and tailgates.
I love football season—it’s one of my favorite times of year. We cheer for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and as Ohio residents we always have a soft spot for Buckeye-inspired treats. With game day in mind, I created this Seven Layer Hoagie Dip to bring all the classic hoagie elements into one easy-to-serve dish for tailgates or homegating.
Instead of a bread bowl version I’d seen, I modeled this on a seven-layer dip but used classic hoagie ingredients. The base is a smooth mix of white beans, whipped cream cheese and Italian dressing for that tangy, creamy foundation. From there, layers of drained petite diced tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, quick-pickled red onions, chopped salami, shredded mozzarella and pepperoncini rings build textures and savory flavor. Serve with thinly sliced baguette for dipping and you’ll have a crowd-pleasing appetizer ready before kickoff.
