Ingredients
- 3 Lb Italian Sausage Links
- 4 count Bell Peppers, Sliced
- 3 large Yellow Onions, Sliced
- 8 count Hoagie Rolls
- 2 Cups Marinara Sauce
Instructions
- Brown sausage links: Brown Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high, turning until all sides color. Slice links on a bias.
- Sweat peppers and onions: In the same pan, cook sliced peppers and onions 10–12 minutes until soft with golden edges.
- Combine and simmer: Return sausage; add marinara if using. Simmer 5 minutes so flavors meld.
- Serve on rolls: Pile sausage and peppers into split hoagie rolls. Sausage Peppers & Onions is a hall classic — keep extra napkins out.
Tonight's spread
- Plate Sausage Peppers and Onions with sides in separate pans so the crew can mix portions.
- Line up Sausage Peppers and Onions on the main counter with serving spoons — firefighters grab fast between calls.
- Keep a backup tray warm in the oven at 200°F for late arrivals after a run.
Hall tips
- Keep a backup tray warm in the oven for late calls — nothing worse than cold plates after a run.
- Taste for salt at the end — hall palates run salty after long shifts.
Leftovers
- Cool leftovers in shallow containers within two hours — deep pots stay hot too long.
- Label trays with date and reheat to 165°F minimum before second shift.
- Large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven
- Large sheet trays
- Instant-read thermometer
- Aluminum foil
