Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage links (4-5 links)
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 hoagie rolls (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Return sausages to the skillet. Add diced tomatoes with their juices, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until sausages reach 160°F (71°C), about 10 minutes.
  4. If using rolls, split and toast lightly. Place a sausage in each roll, top with peppers, onions, and sauce, and serve hot.

Notes

If you prefer a saucier dish, swap the diced tomatoes for a 15 oz can of crushed tomatoes. Always check the sausages with a meat thermometer so you don’t overcook them.
