Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces hoagie rolls
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausages cool, slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin rounds. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Slice the browned sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables, and let everything cook together for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, leaving one side attached to create a pocket. Optional: Toast the rolls lightly under a broiler for added texture.
Spoon the sausage, pepper, and onion mixture into each hoagie roll. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling.
If desired, place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
