Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 1 pound Italian sausage links
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 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
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Bread
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Instructions
- Cook Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove sausages from skillet and set aside. Optionally, slice sausages into pieces for easier sandwich assembly.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Spices and Sausages: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Return the browned 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: If desired, toast the hoagie rolls lightly to add crunch and warmth. Fill each hoagie roll generously with the sausage and pepper mixture. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful sandwich.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage or add crushed red pepper flakes with the spices.
- You can substitute the hoagie rolls with sandwich buns or baguette slices according to preference.
- Leftover sausage and peppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add sliced mushrooms or onions if you want extra veggies.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free rolls or serve without bread.
