Slice large dill pickles lengthwise to create two flat halves that will serve as the bread.
Pat the pickle halves dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the inside of each pickle half.
Layer deli turkey, ham, and salami on one pickle half.
Add provolone cheese, tomato slices, lettuce, banana peppers, and red onion.
Sprinkle Dan-O's Original Seasoning over the fillings.
Top with the second pickle half and secure with toothpicks if needed.
