HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE PEPPER AND ONION SANDWICHES
This recipe couldn’t be simpler. After sauteing the sausage and vegetables in a pan, stuff the hoagie rolls with cheese and top them with it. Pop it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese, and you have a delicious fast meal that you don’t have to leave the house for!
- Marinara. You can use homemade or store-bought marinara. I usually get a basic, organic marinara like this.
- Sausage. I used an un-cased Italian sausage and broke it up as I cooked it. You can use sausage in a casing if you prefer.
- Peppers and onions. Furthermore, I’m not a fan of green bell peppers, so I use red and orange bell peppers. You can use green if you like them. The most important tip is to cut them the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
- Bread. I use hoagie rolls. A hoagie roll is a long flat dense bread loaf. In contrast, With a sub, the bread is a softer roll cut all the way through and the top is separated from the bottom of the roll. With a hoagie, a harder roll is preferred and the roll is split and the contents are stuffed into the roll and folded closed at the completion. You can also make Jimmy John’s bread.
What to Serve with Sausage Pepper Onion Hoagies
First, start with a hearty dip like Sausage Cheese Dip and a nice drink, Spiked Pineapple Lemonade.
These are delectable sides that perfectly complement this Italian-inspired sandwich.
- Stovetop “Baked Beans”
- Slow Cooker Pinto Beans
- Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes
- Tangy Slaw
- Rotel Cheese Grits
- Avocado and Pine Nut Roasted Broccoli Salad
- Bacon Ranch Twice Baked Potato Salad
Of course, you need a nice dessert to end your meal. Tiramisu Pound Cake is the ideal blend of Italian and Southern dessert!
How to Cut Onions for Pizza Hoagies
Place the onion on a cutting board and hold your chef knife with your non-dominate hand. Cut the roots off and peel the skin off. Slice the onion crosswise. Now, slice thin, even slices.
