Since it's still cold outside, and also since we are into watching football around here, this seemed like a great time for some Italian sausage hoagies. OK, this is in no way health food, but I do call it comfort food! Our love of Italian sausage is enjoyed greatly when we put it on a big ol' hoagie roll. The hubs likes his plain with a little mustard. I prefer mine with some sliced, sauteed sweet onions and bell peppers mostly, and sometimes along with some added cooked mushrooms and maybe some provolone cheese too! Mmmm, mmmm good!
Yeah it's what's for dinner when we start thinking Italian sausage, and it's quick, easy and just minutes away from comfort food happiness. I'm all about that, and when time is short what could be better than these served up with some of your favorite chips on the side(mine are jalapeno kettle chips). I add some hot Chinese style mustard to my hoagie roll first to spice mine up a bit, then add a sausage and pile on the peppers and onions! I think this makes a good on-the-ready dish for the football watching crowd over the weekend. Never mind those hot dogs! Get your game on with an Italian sausage hoagie instead!

Italian Sausage Hoagies
Ingredients:
Italian Sausages-(sweet or hot) most packages come with 5 per pack-(or use turkey italian sausage)
Hoagie Rolls/Hot Dog Buns
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
1 or 2 Bell Peppers-(sliced into strips)
1/2 or 1 Sweet Onion-(sliced)
Mushrooms-(canned, sliced)
Provolone Cheese-(slices)
Directions:
Cook sausages in 1 tbsp of olive oil in pan/skillet over medium high heat, turning often until browned and thoroughly cooked, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Lower heat and cover. (These can also be cooked on the BBQ grill.) While sausages cook, slice onions and peppers. Heat remaining olive oil in medium to large pan over medium heat, add onions and garlic powder. Saute for about 5 minutes then add peppers, continue to cook over medium heat stirring periodically. Mushrooms can be added at this time. Cook until vegetables are slightly softened or desired doneness. Serve sausages on hoagie rolls, with cooked vegs and cheese-optional.
