12 Hoagies for Homegating

Welcome to homegating season! As you may have easily guessed, “homegating” is simply tailgating from home. It’s not a new concept by any means, but this year it takes on a whole new meaning. With entire sports seasons having been canceled or postponed over the summer, sports fans are eager to resume cheering on their favorite teams. Additionally, with fall sports leagues adjusting to new schedules and routines due to COVID-19, it makes perfect sense that fans would look for new ways to enjoy the game, from the comfort of their own homes!

Homegating brings together all the best parts of tailgating—the great food, the high-energy atmosphere of game day, and the excitement of celebrating with friends and fellow sports fans—all without the hassle of trekking your gear to a stadium parking lot or having to wait in line.

Some of our favorite tailgating foods, which are also perfectly suited for a homegating party environment, are hoagies! These types of sandwiches not only allow for endless combinations of meats, toppings, and sauces, but many of them can also be prepared in a slow cooker or similar “hands-off” technique, making them a great option during busy game day preparations.

Here are 12 of our favorite game day hoagies perfect for homegating, all on Martin’s Hoagie Rolls!

Pepperoni Pizza Sub (#1)

Pizza and game day go together hand in hand. And with these customizable pizza hoagies (on Martin’s Hoagie Rolls turned garlic bread) you can top them however you like. Layer on the marinara sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and any other favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, peppers and onions, sausages, or black olives, and enjoy!

Pork Teriyaki Sub (#2)

Turn your favorite Asian take-out dish into a submarine sandwich by piling teriyaki pork and vegetable stir-fry onto hoagie rolls topped with a hefty layer of spicy sriracha mayo. Then sit back and watch the game from the comfort of your own home (or couch).

Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak (#3)

Two foods that just scream “game day” are buffalo chicken wings and philly-style cheesesteaks. What’s even better is when you combine them both into one! To make them for yourself, fry up some thinly sliced chicken breast, combine with prepared buffalo wing sauce, and serve on a Martin’s Hoagie Roll with provolone cheese, sautéed onions, blue cheese dressing, and scallions.

Cheesy Taco Hoagie (#4)

For a Mexican twist, transform your hoagies into tacos with seasoned ground beef, onions, corn, black beans, Mexican cheese blend, fresh cilantro, and sour cream and salsa, for serving.

Sausage Hoagies with Peppers and Onions (#5)

Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches just can’t be beat. These are quick and easy to prepare: just sauté some sweet or hot Italian sausages (or a combination of both) along with sliced red and green bell peppers and yellow onions. Next, simmer everything in a simple homemade pasta sauce for about 10 minutes, then serve on hoagie rolls topped with shredded mozzarella cheese. Yum!

Honey Garlic Chicken Hoagie (#6)

These chicken and veggie hoagies are perfect for large-batch dinners (hello, homegating party). Simply arrange cubed, marinated chicken and diced peppers and onions onto a single sheet pan and bake in a 400 degree oven until the chicken is cooked through. Alternately, weather permitting, you can grill the ingredients outdoors on skewers (if you’re hoping for more of a tailgating vibe). Enjoy on Martin’s Hoagie Rolls!

These southern style meatballs have another thing going for them (a few “secret” ingredients!) which is a definite game-changer.
