Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 onions
- 3 green peppers
- 3 hot Italian sausage links
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
-
Cook Sausage: Begin by cooking the hot Italian sausage links in a skillet over medium heat. Allow them to cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned on all sides.
-
-
Prepare Vegetables: While the sausage is cooking, heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add minced garlic, sliced onions, and sliced green peppers to the pan. Saute the vegetables for approximately 10 minutes, until they become tender and start to caramelize.
-
Simmer: Once the vegetables are soft and fragrant, cover the pan and let the mixture simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a deliciously savory base for your hoagies.
-
Prepare Sausage: After cooking, remove the sausage links from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess grease. Then, cut the links into 2-inch size pieces for easy serving.
-
Preheat Broiler: While the sausage and vegetables are cooking, preheat your broiler to ensure it’s nice and hot when it’s time to melt the cheese.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage pieces with the sauteed onions and peppers. Mix everything together well to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Assemble Hoagies: Spoon the sausage and vegetable mixture into individual hoagie rolls, dividing it evenly among them. Top each hoagie with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring that each bite is ooey-gooey and delicious.
-
Broil: Place the assembled hoagies under the broiler for just a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the rolls are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is melted and the hoagies are hot and toasty, remove them from the broiler and serve immediately. These Sausage, Pepper & Onion Hoagies are best enjoyed hot, straight from the oven, with plenty of napkins on hand for any cheesy goodness that might escape!
