Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 1 pound Italian sausage links
- 3 medium bell peppers, sliced (assorted colors)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To Serve
- 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Instructions
- Brown the sausages: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the Italian sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them into bite-sized pieces or leave whole based on preference.
- Sauté the peppers and onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add garlic and herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute until the mixture is fragrant.
- Combine sausages and vegetables: Return the sausages to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Continue cooking for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Toast hoagie rolls: If desired, lightly toast the hoagie rolls in the oven or on a separate skillet until crisp.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Open the toasted hoagie rolls and add a base of your preferred sauce if using. Fill each roll generously with the sausage, peppers, and onions mixture. Serve warm and enjoy.
