Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a skillet and start warming it up.

Once the oil is hot, add all the Italian sausages to the skillet and brown them on both sides, not cooking them all the way through.

After browning, remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.

Add a little more olive oil to the skillet and then add the sliced onions, cooking until they are soft and translucent.

Once the onions are ready, add the sliced bell peppers and cook until they are soft.

Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet.

Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of dried oregano and mix everything well.

Make wells in the cooked vegetables and return the browned sausages to the skillet, trying to cover them with the peppers and onions.

Add the fresh basil leaves, either chopped or ripped apart, and mix a little.

Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat.

While the sausage and peppers are cooking, place the hoagie buns in the oven to toast them.

After 10 minutes, stir the sausage and peppers, then prepare the sandwiches by placing one sausage in a hoagie bun and covering it with the bell peppers.
