How to Make Italian Sausage Subs For 2

  1. In a small nonstick skillet, brown 2 Italian sausages (about 1/2 lb total) on all sides over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth.
  3. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sausages are cooked through.
  4. Remove sausages and keep warm. Discard broth.
  5. In the same pan, sauté 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, in 1 tablespoon olive oil until crisp-tender (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced, and cook until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes).
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and return sausages to the pan; heat through.
  8. Carefully split 2 sub rolls or hoagie buns lengthwise, leaving the bottom intact to create a pocket.
  9. Spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce evenly inside each bun.
  10. Top each bun with half of the sausage mixture, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and remaining onion and pepper mixture.
  11. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
