Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 2 whole Bell peppers (mixed colors, sliced)
- 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 4 pieces Hoagie rolls (or Italian sandwich rolls)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Slice the cooked sausages in half lengthwise and return them to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetable mixture. Let them simmer for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Preheat your oven broiler. Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches by spooning a generous amount of the pepper, onion, and sauce mixture into each roll. Place a sausage (or two halves) into each roll, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 7
Place the assembled sandwiches back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve the Italian-style sausage sandwiches hot. Enjoy!
