Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, crumble the Italian sausage into the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  2. 2

    Cook the Peppers

    While the sausage is cooking, chop the green bell peppers. Add them to the skillet with the sausage during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the sausage and peppers are cooked, reduce heat to low. Place provolone cheese slices over the sausage and peppers in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Grinder

    Slice the Italian rolls open and fill each roll with the sausage, pepper, and melted cheese mixture. Serve hot.
