Today was one of those days where I felt behind all day. I am no stranger to stress eating. I came home hungry for something heavy and satisfying. Sandwiches in general are a comfort food for me, and I love a good baked sub.
I sauteed whole mild Italian sausages until they were really brown on all sides. Then I added a tiny bit of water, covered them and let them steam for a minute or so. I then added olive oil with peppers, onions and mushrooms. I cooked these together, covered on medium heat for about 20 minutes.
While that was cooking, I peeled and chopped the sweet potatoes, and roasted them at 425° in olive oil and salt. Super simple. Super yummy.
And while those were cooking I sliced the rolls, added a couple pads of butter and 2 slices of smoked provolone in each. I toasted the open rolls for about 7 minutes, until crispy on the outside and melty on the inside.
When everything was ready, I sliced the sausage and spooned the meat and veggies into the soft cheesy pocket. I love recipes that have even timing, and these really hit the spot. The sweet potatoes were al dente, and the subs with gooey cheese, savory sausage, and sweet peppers made a symphony of a sandwich.

Ingredients:
- Package of 5-6 sausages, I choose mild because my daughter won’t tolerate spicy.
- 1 green pepper julienned
- 1 red pepper julienned
- 1 small onion julienned
- 1 package sliced mushrooms
- 3-4 Tbs olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 italian or french sub rolls
- 8-12 slices of smoked provolone cheese
- 1/2 stick of butter, thinly sliced into squares
