Italian Sausage Sandwich Recipe - Smoked Italian Sausage - Pellet Smoker - Everyday BBQ

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Chicken sausage is lower in fat and calories.

provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: mozzarella cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Mozzarella is lower in fat, while cheddar is often less expensive.

Place sliced peppers in a frying/saucepan with olive oil to coat the peppers and the pan.

Cook on very low heat, adding oregano, basil, salt, and pepper, then stir well.

About halfway through (roughly 30 minutes), add the garlic to prevent burning.

Continue to stir occasionally to avoid burning/wilting; this can take 60-120 minutes depending on desired tenderness.

Preheat your grill/smoker to 225°F and cook the sausages until done, approximately 45-60 minutes if not frozen.

Slice the bread open for the sausage and place a layer of mozzarella cheese at the bottom.

Place the sausage into the bread, add the sweet peppers, giardiniera (optional), and top with more cheese.

Wrap the sandwiches loosely in foil with a tented area at the top to keep the cheese away from the foil.

Place back on the smoker for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts.
