Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Italian sausages we used mild (for the bread pictured)
  • 1 small green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small purple onion sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread
  • 10 slices smoked provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Cook sausages according to package directions. I cooked it over medium heat on each side until a nice golden brown, then I cut the sausages into 1/2 inch slices and then cooked them again over medium heat until cooked all the way through.
  • Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, add peppers and onion and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for just a few minutes, 3-4 minutes. You do not want to over cook these! It will make the bread soggy.
  • Cut and remove the center of the loaf of bread. Place loaf of bread on a baking sheet and add 5 slices of provolone cheese to the bottom of the loaf. Top with sausages, onions and peppers. Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil from the bread. Top with the 5 remaining slices of provolone cheese. Set oven to a low broil and boil until the cheese has melted and starting to turn a light golden brown.
  • Slice & serve immediately. Great to serve with sauce if you desire.
