Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces spicy Italian sausage links
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (sliced) red bell pepper
- 1 large (sliced) green bell pepper
- 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the Italian sausage links in the skillet and cook them for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Slice the cooked sausage links in half lengthwise and return them to the skillet. Toss the sausage with the sautéed peppers and onions to combine.
If using marinara sauce, warm it in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave it until heated through.
To assemble the sandwiches, slice the hoagie rolls in half and, if desired, lightly toast them under a broiler or on a griddle.
Place the sausage halves on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Top with a generous portion of the pepper and onion mixture and a slice of provolone cheese.
If using marinara sauce, spoon a little over the cheese before placing the top half of the roll onto the sandwich.
Serve the hot sausage sandwiches immediately, optionally with a side of chips or a fresh salad.
