Ingredients
Scale
Sausages and Bread
- 4 Italian sausage links (mild or hot)
- 4 hoagie or sausage rolls
Vegetables and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 bell peppers (one red, one yellow, sliced)
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Condiments
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Melted provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat to prepare for cooking the sausages.
- Grill Sausages: Place the Italian sausage links on the grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are fully cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.
- Sauté Peppers and Onions: While the sausages cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, season with oregano, salt, and black pepper, and sauté for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Toast Rolls: During the last 2–3 minutes of grilling the sausages, place the hoagie rolls on the grill to toast them lightly.
- Assemble Sandwiches: To assemble, place each grilled sausage inside a toasted roll. Generously top the sausages with the sautéed peppers and onions. Add optional condiments like mustard, mayonnaise, or melted provolone cheese according to your preference.
Notes
- For extra flavor, deglaze the sauté pan with a splash of balsamic vinegar or white wine after cooking the peppers and onions.
- You can substitute Italian sausage with chicken sausage or plant-based sausage products to accommodate different dietary preferences.
- Using mild or hot sausages can adjust the heat level of the sandwich.
