Sausage and Pepper Sandwich

Here’s the short ingredient list for these sausage & pepper subs:

• Italian sausage: for this recipe, I chose chicken, but you could do pork.
• Onion: use red, white, yellow- whichever you have available.
• Bell peppers: the color is up to you, I go between red and green.
• Provolone cheese: is the classic choice, but Pepper Jack, Mozzarella, and White Cheddar also work.
• Hoagie rolls: are hefty enough to hold the sausage and pepper mixture.
• Mayonnaise: moistens the bread.
