Italian Sausage Grinder Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook Italian Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and then add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into pieces with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   If using, add sliced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet with sausage. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Marinara Sauce

   Pour in the marinara sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to heat through.

4. 4

   Assemble the Grinders

   Slice the submarine rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them if desired. Fill each roll with the sausage and sauce mixture.

5. 5

   Add Cheese

   If desired, top with mozzarella cheese and place the grinders under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot, optionally with extra marinara sauce on the side.
