For the Italian Sub

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage Patties

    In the same skillet, add the Italian sausage patties and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French bread rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sub

    Spread a generous spoonful of marinara sauce on each half of the toasted French bread. Place a cooked sausage patty on top of the sauce, followed by the sautéed onions and peppers. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the assembled subs to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the subs from the oven, let them cool for a minute, then serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Italian Sub!
