Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus more, to taste, for oiling the grill grates
- 1 onion sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
- 2 red bell peppers sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
- 2 green bell peppers sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 (19-ounce) package sweet or hot Italian sausage
- 5 hoagie rolls optionally toasted, for serving
Directions
- Prepare a charcoal grill for direct heat, clean the grates, then use the extra vegetable oil to coat them.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
- Add the onions, the red bell peppers, and the green bell peppers to the heated oil and cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers have softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and the sugar to the veggie mixture and turn off the heat. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the salt and the black pepper to the veggie mixture and stir to combine.
- Evenly spread the veggie mixture into a 10-inch square aluminum pan.
- Evenly nestle the sausages into the veggie mixture.
- Place the aluminum pan on the direct-heat-portion of the grill. Cover the grill and keep the vent open. Cook the sausage mixture, about 10 minutes.
- Flip the sausages and cook the sausage mixture until the meat reaches an internal temperature between 140-145 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
- Use tongs to transfer the sausages only onto the direct-heat-portion of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are well-browned and crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Place 1 of the cooked sausages into each of the toasted buns and evenly top each with the veggie mixture.
- Serve.
