Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled hoagie featuring juicy Italian sausage, sweet grilled peppers and onions, melted provolone cheese, and toasted hoagie rolls. Perfect for 4th of July BBQs and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage links
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow or white onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 sturdy hoagie rolls or sub rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice bell peppers into thin strips and onions into rings or half-rings. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  3. Place Italian sausage links on the grill. Turn every 3-4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 12-15 minutes.
  4. Grill the peppers and onions on a grill-safe pan or foil tray alongside the sausage, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Toast cut-side down on the grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove sausage from grill and slice lengthwise or into chunks. Layer sausage on toasted rolls, top with grilled peppers and onions, and add a slice of provolone cheese. Close sandwich and let sit for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not poke or press the sausage while grilling to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausage reaches 160°F. Toss peppers and onions with oil and seasoning before grilling to caramelize. Toast hoagie rolls last to avoid burning. Let sausage rest a couple of minutes after grilling. For gluten-free, use gluten-free rolls or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives.
