Ingredients

• 4 Italian sausage links
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
• 1 Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 Provolone cheese slices
• 4 Hoagie rolls
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Place the Italian sausage links in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced peppers, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Slice the browned sausage links into thin pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Preheat your oven’s broiler on high. Slice the hoagie rolls in half and lightly butter the inside of each half. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up.

Step 7

Toast the rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 8

Layer the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the toasted rolls. Top with slices of provolone cheese.

Step 9

Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Place the top halves of the rolls onto the sandwiches and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Sausage Melt!
