Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine and Heat Through

    Return the sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Hero

    Slice the hero rolls or hoagie buns lengthwise. Place a generous portion of the sausage and pepper mixture inside each roll. Top with a slice of provolone cheese.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese (optional)

    If desired, place the assembled heroes under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly before serving.
