Italian Sausage Hoagies

Italian Sausage Hoagie One of our favorite ways to enjoy Italian Sausage links is with grilled peppers & onions, but because of the much higher cost at the butcher, and the wider versatility of the bulk sausage, I don’t usually get the links made.  One day when I was looking for an easy dinner, I decided not to let the lack of links stop me.  I prepared them this way and it worked great!  And as a bonus, we could easily get 5 sandwiches out of one pound of sausage, a way to make the meat go a little further than the 4 to a pound links.
