Preparation
- 1
Chop Vegetables
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

Prepare Sausage
Use a sharp knife to pierce the sausage links a few times. This helps to prevent them from bursting while cooking.

Cook Sausages
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 12-15 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, sautéing until they are softened and slightly caramelized (about 8-10 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Combine Ingredients
Once the vegetables are cooked, return the sausages to the skillet. Pour the marinara sauce over the sausages and vegetables, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Prepare Buns
While the sauce simmers, cut the hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
