SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SUB
4 sandwiches
Cook slowly in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked throughout:
- 4 sweet or hot Italian sausages, pricked several times with a fork or paring knife
Transfer the sausages to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add:

- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large bell peppers or 1 pound Italian frying peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips
- (1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the peppers are very soft, about 25 minutes. If desired, stir in:
- (1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar)
Return the sausages to the skillet and heat through, about 3 minutes. Place one sausage on each of:
- Four 6-inch hero rolls, split and warmed
Top with the onions and peppers. Gently press the sandwiches together and serve.
