Ingredients

  • 6 Sub Rolls
  • 14 oz. Italian Sausages or up to a pound. The brand I had came 5 to a pack
  • 3 Sweet Bell Peppers sliced
  • 1 Onion peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp. Tomato Paste
  • 1 c Shredded Italian Blend Cheese or Mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp. Sliced Black Olives optional

Other

  • 1 tbsp. Butter for toasting the buns
  • Pinch of Salt and Pepper to season the veggies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and heat up the stove top griddle, or skillet, over medium.
  • Add some butter to the griddle and lay the sliced sub rolls down to toast; set aside.
  • Place the sausages on the griddle; cook until browned, about 5 minutes, turning often. Remove and set aside until cool to handle.
  • Next, add the peppers and onions to the griddle. Sauté and turn occasionally until softened. Season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Slice the sausage and return to the griddle with the vegetables until heated through then transfer everything to a mixing bowl. Add tomato paste to the sausage and peppers and stir to glaze everything.
  • Place sausage and pepper mixture on toasted buns, top with cheese and a few sliced black olives (if using) then place into a hot oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately.
