How to Make Italian Sausage And Pepper Heroes

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill Italian sausages, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove sausages from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice each sausage in half lengthwise.
  3. While sausages grill, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into strips, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. (Optional) The pepper mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
  6. Place sausage halves in hero rolls. Generously fill each roll with the sautéed pepper and onion mixture.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Italian Sausage and Pepper Heroes!
