ITALIAN SAUSAGE HOAGIES

Steps:

• To prepare the onion-pepper mixture, slice the peppers into long strips about 1/2 inch thick and thinly slice the onions.
• Sauté both together in a heavy pan in a few tablespoons of olive oil until they are soft and onions are beginning to turn golden brown.
• Make a garlic butter by mashing together about two cloves of roasted garlic (if you don't want to roast it yourself, jars of roasted garlic can be found at most grocery stores these days) with 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Grill or pan fry the sausages until cooked through (it helps to preboil them for about 5 minutes; it cuts down on the grease and grilling/frying time); slice the buns and grill lightly once the sausages are ready; alternatively, the buns can be lightly browned in either a toaster or a hot lightly oiled pan.
• Brush the buns with the garlic butter, carefully put 1/4 cup mozzarella on one side of each bun and place in each bun a sausage and a good amount of the pepper-onion mixture and serve hot.
