Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 1 pound Italian sausage links
Vegetables and Herbs
- 3 medium bell peppers (different colors), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Instructions
- Cook Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and slice into pieces if preferred.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until they begin to soften, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add Spices and Sausages: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Return the sliced sausages to the skillet and continue cooking until the sausages are fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Optionally toast the hoagie rolls. Spoon the sausage and vegetable mixture into the rolls to create hearty sandwiches. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use Italian sausage links with your preferred spice level, mild or spicy.
- Bell peppers of different colors add both vibrant color and varied flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute hoagie rolls with gluten-free bread or wraps.
- Leftover sausage mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated.
- Adding provolone or mozzarella cheese to the sandwiches is a tasty optional addition.
