How to Make Loaded Sausage and Pepper Hoagies

1 green bell pepper (sliced)
1 onion (sliced)
4 hoagie rolls
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Provolone cheese slices or your favorite cheese

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the sliced chicken sausage to the skillet and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the sausage and peppers are done, pile the mixture high into each hoagie roll. If desired, top with slices of provolone cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the rolls are toasted and the cheese is melted (if using).
Remove from oven and serve hot.
