Ingredients
- 4 hot Italian sausages
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers and the onion into thin strips. Place them in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the sliced vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Once the grill is hot, add the hot Italian sausages to the grill. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- While the sausages are grilling, add the seasoned peppers and onions to the grill. Grill the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- As the sausages and vegetables finish cooking, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want them to open like a book.
- Once everything is cooked, remove the sausages and grilled vegetables from the grill. Allow the sausages to rest for a minute before slicing them in half lengthwise if desired.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a grilled sausage in each hoagie roll. Top with a generous portion of the grilled peppers and onions.
- Drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired, and add any additional toppings you like, such as mustard, hot sauce, or cheese.
- Serve the hot and sweet sausage sandwiches immediately while they are warm, and enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips
- Grill Preparation: Ensure your grill is preheated and the grates are clean and lightly oiled. This will help prevent the sausages and vegetables from sticking and ensure perfect grill marks.
- Vegetable Seasoning: Don’t skimp on the olive oil and seasoning! A good drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper will enhance the flavor of the grilled peppers and onions.
- Temperature Check: For perfectly cooked sausages, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). This ensures they are safe to eat and deliciously juicy.
- Customizing Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add your favorite condiments like mustard, hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serving Fresh: These sandwiches are best served immediately while everything is warm and fresh. If you’re serving a crowd, consider grilling everything just before mealtime for maximum enjoyment.
