Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet, mild, or spicy links)

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Bread & Cheese

  • 4 fresh crusty sub rolls
  • 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

Other

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Slice the Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces or remove from casings if preferred. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Peppers and Onions: In the same skillet, drizzle olive oil and add thinly sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft and lightly caramelized. Add minced garlic during the last two minutes for maximum aroma.
  3. Combine and Season: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Toss everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture heat through for about 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Assemble the Subs: Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spoon the sausage and pepper mixture evenly into each roll. Top with slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese while everything is still hot, letting it melt slightly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Italian Sausage & Peppers Subs hot for the best flavor and texture. Add any optional garnishes or condiments you like, then dig in!

Notes

  • Use fresh Italian sausage for best flavor and juiciness.
  • Cook peppers and onions slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Toast the sub rolls lightly to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Provolone cheese melts smoothly and complements the sandwich perfectly.
  • Let the sandwich rest a minute before serving to settle flavors.
