Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage links
  • 3 medium bell peppers sliced (different colors)
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 hoagie rolls split lenthwise
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausages and slice them if you prefer them in bite-sized pieces, or keep them whole.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, peppers, and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Place the sausages back into the skillet with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • If you like your hoagie roll crispy, toast it lightly in the oven or on a separate skillet. Open up a hoagie roll and lay down a base of your chosen sauce if using, then pack in a generous portion of the sausage, peppers, and onions.

Notes

  1. For a lighter version, swap out traditional pork Italian sausages with chicken or turkey sausages.
  2. If you prefer a milder dish, choose sweet Italian sausages, or go with spicy ones to add extra heat.
  3. This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for make-ahead meals.
  4. Serve with crusty bread or over cooked pasta to soak up the flavorful juices from the skillet.
