Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 Sub rolls (6-inch)
- 2 Provolone cheese slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage links to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausages cook, slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes over the vegetables. Stir to combine.
Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Cover and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes over low heat, or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
While the sausage mixture finishes cooking, preheat the oven broiler. Split the sub rolls lengthwise and spread the inside with butter.
Place the sub rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Place a cooked sausage link into each toasted sub roll. Top with the sautéed peppers and onions, then lay a slice of provolone cheese over the top.
Return the assembled subs to the oven. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the Italian Sausage Subs hot with your favorite side dish or enjoy them on their own!
