These hot hoagies are creamy, cheesy and delightfully flavorful. They are also faster than fast to put together. Perfect for a hectic night!

One year when I was about four months pregnant, I had to have surgery – as in, put me under, recover in the hospital for four days and go home still feeling miserable.

The recovery was long and hard, especially with three children running about at home.

One night, unexpectedly, a dear friend of mine showed up without calling first and brought me dinner. These hot hoagies, to be exact.

Little did she know it was a “crisis” night – my husband was out of town, I was still recovering from surgery, I was pregnant, and my kids were going nuts-o.

Throwing something together for dinner was loooow on my priority list, much to my children’s hunger and dismay.

The meal my friend brought was simple and definitely not fussy – but it was delicious and filling and earned a special spot in my food-loving heart.

These hoagies are creamy, cheesy and delightfully flavorful (thanks to the parsley, green onions and garlic).

I’ve been making these ever since for a quick, weeknight meal that is faster than fast to put together and my kids eat it up without gagging or complaining.

And if that isn’t a successful meal, I don’t know what is.
