Recipe

Nothing beats the sizzle of juicy Italian sausage nestled in a toasty roll, piled high with sweet bell peppers and onions that melt in your mouth. These Sausage and Pepper Sandwiches are pure comfort—bold, messy, and packed with flavor. They’re the star of tailgates, backyard barbecues, and cozy weeknight dinners when you want something hearty without the fuss.

A little help from the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater makes prep a breeze (think perfectly uniform pepper and onion slices in seconds), but the real magic is in that classic combo of charred sausage, soft veggies, and melted cheese. Let’s get cooking.

🥖Ingredients (Serves 4)

4–6 Italian sausages (mild or hot)

3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green – go colorful!)

1 large sweet onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt & black pepper

4 hoagie rolls or baguette pieces

1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella (optional but recommended)

Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh basil

🍳Step-by-Step: Sausage and Pepper Perfection

1. Cook the Sausage

Grill, pan-sear, or bake the sausages until beautifully browned and cooked through. Keep warm.

2. Slice & Sauté the Veggies

Use the cheese shredder hand crank with its slicing blade for paper-thin bell peppers and onions — they cook faster and soak up flavor like a dream.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Toss in the sliced peppers and onions, season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized. Add garlic in the last minute.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches

Split the rolls and lightly toast if desired. Pile high with sausage, then top with a generous scoop of peppers and onions.

For melty goodness: sprinkle shredded cheese and broil 1–2 minutes until bubbly.

4. Serve & Devour

Add red pepper flakes or fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy. Serve with napkins — these are gloriously messy!

🌶️Tips & Twists

Make it Cheesy – Provolone, mozzarella, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Spicy Version – Use hot Italian sausage + extra chili flakes.

Philly-Style – Add sliced mushrooms and melted American cheese.

Low-Carb – Skip the roll and serve over zucchini noodles or in lettuce wraps.

Meal-Prep – Veggies stay great in the fridge for 3 days.
