Ingredients

• 4 links Italian sausages
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large White onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 4 Crusty sandwich rolls

Directions

Step 1

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin slices and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Slice the sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked through.

Step 7

Toast the sandwich rolls under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly crispy.

Step 8

Spoon the sausage and pepper mixture onto the rolls, ensuring each sandwich is generously filled.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Sausage and Peppers Sandwiches!
