Description

These Italian Sausage Sandwiches are a comforting, savory meal that brings the flavors of a classic Italian-American deli straight to your kitchen. Juicy Italian sausage is browned and then simmered with sweet Spanish onions, crisp green peppers, and juicy tomatoes until everything is tender and flavorful. The mixture is spooned onto split French rolls, topped with shredded mozzarella, and baked until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Finished with fresh lettuce for a crunch of texture, these sandwiches are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a casual lunch, or even a party appetizer. They are simple to assemble using pantry staples but deliver a rich, satisfying taste that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Drain any excess grease from the cooked sausage.
  3. Add the sliced onion, green pepper strips, and tomato wedges to the skillet with the sausage.
  4. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for about 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the dried oregano.
  6. Heat the French rolls according to package directions, then split them in half and set aside.
  7. Spoon the warm meat and vegetable mixture onto the bottom half of each roll.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat mixture.
  9. Bake the open-faced sandwiches at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204&# 194;°C) for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  10. Top each sandwich with shredded lettuce and cover with the top half of the roll before serving.

Note

For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage instead of sweet.

You can substitute fresh oregano for dried; use about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano.

If you prefer a softer roll, you can skip the initial heating step and just toast the rolls lightly in the oven with the cheese.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or toaster oven.

Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the skillet mixture for extra nutrition.
