5
Toast the hoagie rolls lightly on the grill during the last few minutes.
6
Put a sausage link into each roll. Top generously with the grilled peppers and onions.
7
Add a slice of provolone and a spoonful of chopped Pueblo green chile if using. Let the heat melt the cheese.

Chef's tips

Slice the peppers and onions thin so they cook at the same rate as the sausages. Adding Pueblo green chile brings a special local touch not found in East Coast sausage sandwiches.

Storage

Store components separately, refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Reheating

Reheat sausage and vegetables in a skillet; toast rolls before assembling.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Cooking sausages over heat that is too high, which splits the skins before the insides cook through.
•Taking the peppers off the heat too early, leaving them crunchy instead of tender.
