Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large sweet onion diced
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 16 ounces pizza sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 10 Hoagie rolls
Instructions
- Drizzle the oil into a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion.
- Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the onion just starts to soften and brown.
- Add the bell peppers and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, ground beef, and sausage.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stirring often, cook until the meat is no longer pink and has started to brown.
- Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Add the Worcestershire and pizza sauces along with the Italian seasoning and oregano.
- Stir and cook another 8 minutes on medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low while preparing the rolls.
- Lightly toast the buns. I like to do this in a 350 F oven but you can also do it under the broiler.
- Transfer the buns to a a baking sheet or two and open at the hinges.
- Top bun halves with meat mixture and a good handful of cheese.
- Return to the oven to melt the cheese. You can put them under the broiler for a minute or two if you want to brown the cheese a bit.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Have plenty of napkins on hand!
