Spicy Italian Sausage Sandwich with Caramelized Onions
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 spicy Italian sausages
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until they start to soften.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the spicy Italian sausages and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
- While the sausages are cooking, preheat the broiler. Open the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Place a slice of provolone cheese on one side of each roll. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce on the other side of each hoagie roll. Place a cooked sausage on top of the marinara sauce, then top with a generous amount of caramelized onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
