Sausage and Pepper Hoagies

From time to time, it’s nice to pull together a meal with just a few ingredients and minimal effort.

Sandwiched inside a soft hoagie roll, each bite is filled with seasoned onions and peppers, juicy sausage, and melty cheese.

You also have the option of toasting the bread, giving you a crispier and flaky texture that’s always a winner.

Sausage Pepper Sandwich Ingredients

Few recipes are better than this one made with simple and affordable ingredients that turn into a people-pleasing meal.

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.

Check the printable recipe card below to get the full ingredient measurements and more detailed directions.

How to Make Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches

In just 15 minutes, you’ll have a delicious meal on the table with little cleanup.

Here is what you’ll be doing:

  1. Prep
    Slice the bell pepper and onion. Use a pairing knife to remove the sausage casings.
  2. Cook
    Add the sausage to a large pan over medium-high heat and cook for 7 minutes while breaking it up with a spatula.
  3. Toss in the veggies
    Add the peppers and onions to the skillet and cook until softened. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble
    Spread the mayo onto the opened hoagies. Place the cheese onto one side and top with the sausage and veggies. Close and serve!

Can You Use Other Types of Sausage

The sausage is the star of this meal, so feel free to use your favorite type. You can use spicy Italian sausage, mild, sweet, smoked… any variation will work. Of course, you can use sausage made of chicken, pork, or beef.

Prep-Ahead Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches

The filling for these sausage and pepper hoagie sandwiches can be cooked up to 3 days ahead of time, cooled down, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When it’s time to eat, simply heat it up and fill your fresh or toasted hoagies.

What to Serve with Sausage Sandwiches

These sausage sandwiches are a terrific main meal that pairs well with simple kettle chips, a simple side salad, or some roasted carrot fries.
