Stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable seasoning, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Add parsley flakes for color and mix well, then set aside.

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Toast the hoagie bun in the skillet until browned on both sides, then set aside.

Add the chopped meats to the skillet and brown them, mixing in pickled banana peppers and pickled red sweet peppers.

Cook until everything is charred and flavorful, then add pepper jack cheese on top to melt.

Spread the prepared lettuce mixture on the toasted hoagie bun and layer the cooked meat and peppers on top.
