Italian Sausage Pizza Sub

Easy pizza sub for lunch or dinner. Delicious whether you fold it up and bite in or knife and fork it!

Ingredients:

1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed and chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 medium red pepper, thinly sliced 

1 tsp minced garlic

1/4 cup pizza sauce 

1 tsp dry oregano

Red pepper flakes to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Fresh chopped parsley

2 -10" sub (or hoagie) buns

Heat oil in large skillet.  Sauté peppers and onion on medium heat 4-5 minutes. Then add garlic for 1 minute before removing everything to a plate. Add chopped sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for 5 minutes on medium high heat. Add the oregano and red pepper flakes.

Slice rolls in half lengthwise but not right through. Open them like a book arranging on a foil lined baking sheet. 

Spread pizza sauce on the cut sides then layer the veggies, sausage and cheese to top. You can add a sprinkle more oregano if you like.

Pop in a 450°F oven for 5-10 minutes then garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Serves 2
