Ingredients

• 4 links Italian sausage (mild or spicy, as preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 Sub rolls
• 4 Provolone cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the sausage links in the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

While the sausages are cooking, slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion into thin wedges.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell pepper strips and onion wedges to the skillet, and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Slice the cooked sausages lengthwise, but not all the way through, and return them to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Slice the sub rolls open and lightly toast them under a broiler or in a toaster oven, if desired. Place a sausage and some of the pepper-onion mixture inside each roll.

Step 7

Top each sub with a slice of provolone cheese. If desired, place the assembled subs under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your homemade Sausage and Pepper Subs!
