Method
Preparing the Patties
- 1
Mix the Sausage
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Italian sausage with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Form the Patties
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a large patty, approximately 5 inches in diameter.
Cooking the Patties
- 3
Cook the Patties
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C).
- 4
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt completely.

Prepare the Rolls
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the submarine or hoagie rolls in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown.

Add the Sauce
Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, remove them from the skillet and place each patty inside a toasted roll. Pour the original red sauce generously over the patties.

Garnish and Serve
If desired, add fresh basil leaves on top of the sauce for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your Giant Hot Dago!
