Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill 4 pork sausage links, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and nicely charred.
Step 2: While sausages grill, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced green bell pepper, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 thinly sliced yellow onion. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Slice 4 hoagie rolls lengthwise but not all the way through. Spread 1 tsp Dijon mustard inside each roll.
Step 4: Place one grilled sausage in each roll and top with generous spoonfuls of the sautéed peppers and onions. Serve immediately.
