| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Grill Sausages: Heat up your grill with hot coals. Grill the sweet and hot Italian sausage links over the hot coals, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through, which should take about 10 minutes in total. Once done, remove them from the grill and keep them warm. |
| 2 | Prepare Pepper Mixture: While the sausages are grilling, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and sauté them until they become softened, which usually takes around 5 minutes. |
| 3 | Add Onions and Garlic: Once the peppers have softened, add the sweet onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper according to your taste preferences. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the vegetables are lightly browned, which typically takes about 10-15 minutes. |
| 4 | Assemble Heroes: Now, it’s time to assemble your heroes! Place the grilled sausage links inside the hero rolls, then generously spoon the sautéed pepper mixture over each sandwich. |
| 5 | Serve: Your Italian Sausage and Pepper Heroes are ready to be served! Whether you enjoy them hot off the grill or at room temperature, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit at any gathering. |
Notes:
- The pepper mixture can be made ahead of time. Simply reheat it when you’re ready to serve or enjoy it at room temperature.
- Feel free to customize your heroes by adding your favorite toppings such as melted cheese or a drizzle of marinara sauce.
- These sandwiches are perfect for large groups, making them an excellent choice for gatherings, picnics, or game day parties. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
