Italian sausage hoagie
It’s game day, and you’re looking for something quick and easy to make when the guys (and girls) come over to watch on your big screen television. Something that, with a couple beers, will pretty much fill them up. This hoagie recipe will do the trick nicely. Serve it with all the trappings, salsa and chips, maybe some turtle brownies for dessert. The recipe serves 4. Double it for large appetites.
Italian Sausage Hoagie Sandwiches
1 loaf French bread or 4 hoagie rolls
1 lb mild or hot Italian sausages, each sliced into 4 chunks
½ large yellow or red onion, peeled and sliced into ½ inch slices
1 bell pepper, ½ inch julienne
½ C prepared spaghetti sauce
¼ C red wine
2 T olive oil
1 t butter
pinch kosher salt
pinch freshly ground black pepper
margarine spread
garlic powder
Split the rolls or bread, leaving one side intact to hold in the contents. Spread with margarine and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder. Toast on grill pan. Remove and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausages and sauté until well browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and allow to drain. Meanwhile, drain the grease from the pan and add the onion, pepper, and butter. Salt and pepper to taste, and cook until tender. Remove from pan. Pour the red wine into the pan to deglaze, then add the spaghetti sauce and cooked sausage. Heat through, about 1 minute.
Stuff the toasted rolls with the sausage and onions and serve.
Variation: Instead of Italian sausage, try kielbasa. Omit the tomato sauce and substitute beer for the wine. Serve with spicy mustard.
This recipe can be easily converted to tailgating by grilling the sausage whole then slicing. Cook the onion and sausage in a pan or cookie sheet on top of the grill. Omit the sause and opt for spicy or whole grain mustard.
