Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage pieces, browning them on all sides for about 7 to 8 minutes. Once browned, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 6 minutes, or until they become tender and golden brown. Add the chopped garlic and continue to sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the tomato paste, beer, and barbecue sauce into the vegetable mixture. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Return the browned sausage to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
6
While the sausage and peppers are simmering, slice open the hoagie rolls and place them on a sheet tray. Toast in the preheated oven for a few minutes until lightly crisp.

Once the sausage mixture is ready, spoon the sausage and pepper filling generously into each toasted hoagie roll.
