A breeze to whip up with just 8 ingredients…see how we’re going beyond sausage…
Pick your favorite Italian sausage, sweet or hot.
We’ll cut right to the plant-based version. We’ve chosen “Beyond Sausage” for our hoagies, the first plant-based sausage that looks, sizzles, and satisfies like pork.
mise en place
To get started, heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook for 5 – 7 minutes, turning occasionally so they brown on all sides. When sausages are browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
Add onions and peppers, stirring to coat with the oil from the sausages. Cover and cook for 3 – 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, cover and cook for 2 – 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
Add sausage, cover and cook until sausage is reheated. Enjoy now and fill hoagies with sausage, onions, peppers, and mushrooms.
However, if you want to make this a real Italian treat, load a sausage into each hoagie. Add the onion, pepper, and mushroom mixture and top with your favorite marinara, provolone or mozzarella, and a little more marinara over the top. Place in an oven heated to 400-degrees F and bake for 5 – 8 minutes, until cheese is melted.
This was the perfect lunch for today’s playoff games!
