I got the inspiration for this one from Gale's Antipasto Squares! I really want to try that one day, but was thinking about my hubby's favorite Italian sandwich, so this is what came out of that! Lol! Hope someone else likes it too!

What an easy and fantastic dish to prepare! All the flavors of the meats shine in this dish. The marinara dipping sauce is a nice touch. This will great at your next tailgate or for an easy weeknight meal. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Baked Italian Sandwich

Step-by-Step

1Preheat oven to 350.
2Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
Roll one of the cans of croissants in the bottom.
3Layer honey ham, 1/2 provolone, pepperoni, 1/2 mozzarella, capicola ham, provolone, hard salami, mozzarella, then other can of croissant.
4Cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes, remove foil & bake for additional 20 minutes or until golden brown.
5For Mariana Sauce:
