Italian Sausage Sandwiches

This sandwich was amazing. Now, it is not like your regular sandwich. You cannot really eat this with your hands. You gotta get in there with a knife and fork. It is a cross between a meatball sub and a sausage and peppers sub. Just do me a favor and make this. Soon. Did I mention it has cheese? Ooey Gooey Cheese. Clean plates all around!

Italian Sausage Sandwich

Ingredients

small onion, chopped
2 heads garlic, chopped
1 container mushrooms, sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
5 Sweet Italian Sausages cut up in 1 inch pieces- You could substitute chicken or turkey sausage
4-6 hoagie rolls
1 container of marinara sauce- You could make your own, but for a quick meal, use your favorite jarred sauce. I actually found a sausage and peppers marinara that was perfect (Publix brand).
1/2-1 cup of mozzarella cheese- feel free to use as much as you like

Directions

Preheat broiler to high
Hollow out the top halves of rolls. Arrange rolls on baking sheet. Broil 1 1/2 minutes or until toasted. Set aside for the time being.
Heat a large skillet or pan over med. heat. Add some veg. oli to the pan and let it get hot. Add your onions and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes. Add your sausage pieces to pan; cook about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, peppers, and marinara; bring to a boil. Reduce heat,and simmer 5 minutes or so until peppers are tender.

Panini love

Tonight I am hanging out with my family at the hospital. My husband brought some take-out from Figo, an Italian place that has antipasti (they have these amazing aranchini, rice balls), homemade pastas, salads, and paninis. Everything I have gotten there has been yummy, but I’ve never had one of their paninis. I chose the prosciutto and mozzarella panini with arugula, tomato, and rosemary mayonnaise. Delish! Sometimes the most simple ingredients make the best sandwiches!

I will definitely recreate this sandwich at home! Every time I go to a restaurant, I always love to get something different each time. This way, I get to try new foods and different combinations. Then, I like to see if I can recreate the meal in my kitchen putting my own spin on it. You will probably see a lot of sandwiches on here…my family loves them!

What is your favorite sandwich combinations?
