Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Place 4 Italian sausage links directly on the grill and cook for 12-14 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until they are evenly charred and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: While sausages grill, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large sliced green bell pepper, 1 large sliced red bell pepper, and 1 large sliced yellow onion, seasoning with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender and edges start to caramelize.
  3. Step 3: Toast 4 hoagie rolls on the grill for 1-2 minutes until slightly crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove sausages from grill and place each in a toasted roll, topping generously with the sautéed peppers and onions before serving.
