Ingredients
Crusty long rolls
4 (Whole)
Hot or mild Italian sausage (6 inches)
4 (Links)
Red peppers
2 (Sliced into strips)
Green peppers
2 (Sliced into strips)
Medium onions

Mozzarella cheese
1 cup (Shredded)
Roasted garlic

Instructions
1
Start by preparing the onion and pepper mixture: Slice the red and green peppers into long strips about 1/2 inch thick, and slice the onions thinly.
2
In a heavy pan, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions, sautéing until the vegetables are soft and the onions are turning golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
3
In a small bowl, make the garlic butter by mashing together two cloves of roasted garlic with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until smooth.
4
For the sausages, you can preboil them in water for about 5 minutes to cut down on grease and cooking time. Afterwards, grill or pan-fry until thoroughly cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
5
While the sausages are cooking, slice the crusty rolls down the middle without cutting all the way through. Lightly grill or toast the rolls until they are just crispy.
6
Brush the inside of each bun with the garlic butter, then sprinkle about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese onto one side of each bun.
7
Carefully place a cooked sausage into each bun, top with a generous amount of the sautéed pepper-onion mixture, and serve hot.
