Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausage links
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 4 pieces Hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then cook the Italian sausage links for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside to rest.
3. Slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin strips.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
5. Add minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Slice the cooked sausage into 1/2-inch thick pieces and return them to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
7. Preheat your oven to broil. Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, leaving one edge connected to create a pocket. Lightly butter the inside of each roll.
8. Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and broil for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
9. Remove the toasted hoagie rolls from the oven and evenly distribute the sausage, peppers, and onions mixture among the rolls.
10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the filling in each sandwich.
11. Return the sandwiches to the oven under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy!
