Bread

Method

Preparing the Sausage

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage links. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing them into half.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sauté the Peppers and Onions

    In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Slice the bell peppers and onion thinly and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the sliced sausage back into the skillet with the sautéed peppers and onions. Pour in the Ricco's marinara sauce, and stir to combine. Allow to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    While the sausage mixture heats, slice the sub rolls or Italian bread lengthwise. Optionally, toast them in a toaster oven or on a grill for a couple of minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Serve

    Once the sausage mixture is heated, spoon it generously into each toasted roll. Top with a handful of Italian blend cheese. Serve immediately while hot.
