Chopped Italian Sandwich Bake

A warm, oven-baked twist on the viral TikTok chopped Italian sandwich trend. Instead of layering cold cuts in a roll, the ingredients are chopped together into bite-size pieces, tossed with Italian dressing, piled onto crusty bread, and baked with melted provolone on top. Crispy bread, gooey cheese, and bold Italian flavors make this perfect for a chilly lunch or game-day spread.
