Ingredients

• 2 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 Sub rolls (6-inch)
• 2 Provolone cheese slices
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage links to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

While the sausages cook, slice the green and red bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes over the vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Cover and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes over low heat, or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).

Step 6

While the sausage mixture finishes cooking, preheat the oven broiler. Split the sub rolls lengthwise and spread the inside with butter.

Step 7

Place the sub rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Step 8

Place a cooked sausage link into each toasted sub roll. Top with the sautéed peppers and onions, then lay a slice of provolone cheese over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the Italian Sausage Subs hot with your favorite side dish or enjoy them on their own!
