Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage (mild or spicy, as preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 Sub rolls
- 4 Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the sausage links in the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausages are cooking, slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion into thin wedges.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell pepper strips and onion wedges to the skillet, and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Slice the cooked sausages lengthwise, but not all the way through, and return them to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Slice the sub rolls open and lightly toast them under a broiler or in a toaster oven, if desired. Place a sausage and some of the pepper-onion mixture inside each roll.
Top each sub with a slice of provolone cheese. If desired, place the assembled subs under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Sausage and Pepper Subs!
