Ingredients

  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
  • 1 Vidalia or white onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • The Ladys House Seasoning (page 7) to taste
  • 1 pound (about 4 sausages) sweet Italian sausages, pierced in several places with a fork
  • 4 hoagie rolls, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (4 ounces)

Method

  • Prepare a medium grill or preheat the broiler.
  • If using the broiler, line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil.
  • In a bowl, combine the bell pepper, onion, olive oil, and house seasoning and toss well to combine.
  • Place the sausages on the grill or, if broiling, place on one of the prepared baking sheets.
  • Grill or broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes total, or until the sausages are cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Place the pepper and onion strips in a grilling basket (see A Bit More, Yall, page 88) or, if broiling, place on the second prepared baking sheet.
  • Grill or broil, turning occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes total, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Spread the cut sides of the rolls with the butter and grill or broil cut side down for about 2 minutes.
  • Slice the sausages in half lengthwise and divide the halves among the bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Divide the vegetables equally among the rolls and sprinkle equal amounts of mozzarella on each.
  • Cover with the top halves of the rolls and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Grill or broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted.
