Sausage and Peppers

Ingredients

• Italian sausage (1 pound, casings removed)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 large, sliced)
• Bell peppers (3 (red, yellow, and green), sliced)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)
• Crushed red pepper flakes (1/2 teaspoon (adjust for heat preference))
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))
• Sub rolls (4, for serving)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
6. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
7. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sausage to heat through and the spices to meld together.
8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and remove from heat.
9. Toast the sub rolls until golden brown, then fill each roll generously with the sausage and pepper mixture.
10. Serve hot, and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
