Ingredients
1lb.Italian sausageswe used mild (for the bread pictured)
1small green bell peppersliced
1small red bell peppersliced
1small purple onionsliced
salt and pepperto taste
1loaf French or Italian bread
10slicessmoked 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.
