Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 1 pound Italian sausage links
Vegetables
- 3 medium bell peppers (different colors), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Serving
- 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 them until they are browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook these vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Spices and Sausages: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Return the sliced sausages to the skillet and cook everything together until the sausages are fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Optionally, toast the hoagie rolls to add a crunchy texture. Then, fill each roll generously with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty sandwich.
Notes
- You can use mild or spicy Italian sausage depending on your heat preference.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the hoagie rolls with gluten-free bread or serve over rice.
- To add a cheesy twist, top the filled sandwiches with provolone or mozzarella cheese and broil for a minute before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
