Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough for a good sear.
- Grill the Italian sausages for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/70°C).
- While the sausages are grilling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Season the sautéed vegetables with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
- Place a slice of provolone cheese inside each hoagie roll.
- Once the sausages are grilled to perfection, place one sausage on top of the cheese in each roll.
- Generously divide the sautéed peppers and onions over the sausages in each sandwich.
- Serve the Italian sausage sandwiches warm and enjoy with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the sautéed vegetables.
- Try using sweet Italian sausages for a milder flavor or spicy sausages for more heat.
- Serve with a side of garlic aioli or pesto for a delightful twist.
