📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin slices and mince the garlic cloves.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to coat the vegetables evenly.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced.

6. Slice the sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked through.

7. Toast the sandwich rolls under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly crispy.

8. Spoon the sausage and pepper mixture onto the rolls, ensuring each sandwich is generously filled.

9. Serve hot and enjoy your Sausage and Peppers Sandwiches!
