The Hubs Second Favorite Sandwich

My husband is pretty low maintenance man when it comes to supper. I swear that I could fix the man a pork burger each and every night and he would be perfectly happy. I am not saying that he doesn’t enjoy my cooking creations; he just doesn’t have to have anything fancy. This sandwich happens to be the exception to the rule. He loves it, when he sees Italian sausage out he knows that this sandwich is likely to be his supper. It combines the right amount of spicy with a touch of creaminess from the mozzarella cheese.


Roasted Italian Sausage and Pepper Subs
1 package Italian Sausage (Hot or Mild it is up to you!)
1 Onion (Thinly Sliced)
1 Red Bell Pepper (Cut into Strips)
1 Orange Bell Pepper (Cut into Strips)
1 Pablano Pepper (Cut into Strips)
1 box White Button Mushrooms (Sliced)
3 Cloves Garlic (Chopped)
1 TBSP Tomato Paste
Fresh Mozzarella (I like using the kind that comes in small rounds)
Dash of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Hoagie Rolls

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place sausage on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. While sausages roast sauté onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic until softened. Allow sausages to cool and then thick slice. Stir sausages into the pepper mixture. Stir in a little of the juice left from roasting the sausages and the tomato paste. Season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes more. Place your desired amount of sausage and pepper mixture on a hoagie roll top with the cheese. Put sandwich back into the oven to melt cheese.

Then all you need is a napkin and a large appetite. Yummy!
