Smoked Sausage Pepper Hoagies
Smoked Sausage Pepper Hoagies are a quick and easy dinner to add to the menu this week. Smoked sausage with sautéed peppers and onions on a cheesy toasted hoagie bun.
Meatball Subs are one of the most requested dinners at our house and these Smoked Sausage and Pepper Hoagies are a close second. If we are looking for something really fast, we make Smoked Bologna sandwiches.
Ingredients for Smoked Sausage Pepper Hoagies:
- Smoked Sausage ~ We used Brisket Smoked Sausage for this recipe, use your favorite.
- Bell Peppers ~ We used a combination of red and green.
- Onions ~ Yellow onions or sweet onions work best.
- Hoagie Buns ~ burger buns work too.
- Butter ~ salted butter for toasting the hoagie buns.
- Swiss Cheese ~ Provolone works great too.
How to Make Smoked Sausage Pepper Hoagies:
- Remove the sausage casings and slice sausage into 3 inch chunks. Slice the chunks in half, longwise.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Our brisket sausage is fatty so I didn’t add any additional oil. If you are using store bought sausage, coat the pan with olive oil.
- Cook sausage for 5- 8 minutes until lightly browned and crispy.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of drippings or add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet with diced onions and peppers.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Butter hoagie buns and toast about 3 minutes.
- Add Swiss cheese slices to the hoagie buns and toast until cheese is melted.
- Top the buns with sausage, peppers and onions.
- Serve immediately.
