Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Warm up the oil for a minute or so to create a nice cooking base for your vegetables.
  3. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Push the vegetables to the side and add the Italian sausages to the skillet, browning them on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine.
  7. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through.
  8. Slice the hoagie rolls and toast if desired.

Notes

Mistakes to avoid include overcrowding the skillet and not seasoning adequately. Consider adding melted cheese for extra indulgence. Pair with a fresh green salad or vegetable chips.
