Sausage and Peppers
Recipe courtesy of Jeff Mauro
Total: 49 hr 15 min
Prep: 20 min
Inactive: 48 hr
Cook: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds fresh sweet Italian sausage
4 soft hoagie rolls, hinged
Homemade Hot Giardiniera, recipe follows
2 balls fresh mozzarella, sliced
Homemade Hot Giardiniera:
1/4 cup table salt
1 cup carrots, small dice
1 cup tiny cauliflower florets
4 to 8 serrano peppers (depending on heat level desired), sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, small dice
1 red bell pepper, small dice
2 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Toss the green and red peppers with the olive oil, granulated garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the peppers on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until lighter in color and soft, about 25 minutes. Reserve and don’t drain excess oil from the baking sheet.
Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the sausages, covered with a bowl, until nice and charred and no longer pink on the inside, flipping once, about 12 minutes each side.
Preheat the broiler and set the rack to the middle of the oven. Brush the inside of the rolls with the reserved sweet pepper oil from the baking sheet. Place the sausages, peppers, some more of the sweet pepper oil and some of the Homemade Hot Giardiniera on the rolls. Top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melty and gooey! Take off your shirt, get some color and eat.
Homemade Hot Giardiniera:
Combine 2 cups water and the salt in a glass or nonreactive bowl. Mix until the salt is dissolved. Add the carrots, cauliflower, serranos, minced garlic, celery and bell peppers to the salt water and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
On day 2, drain and rinse the vegetables. Mix the canola oil, oregano and black pepper in a clean bowl. Add the vegetables and mix to combine. Allow to marinate overnight. Giardiniera will only get better with time. After 2 days at the most in the bowl, you can place the Giardiniera in air-tight mason jars and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.

How to Make Jeff’s Sausage and Peppers Hero | Food Network
42 Comments
I'm going to now eat peanut butter on a slice of bread.
That's not how you cut a pepper, and where are the onions???
Not the right way to cut peppers where you waste more than half. And as for the onions, I guess you were going for a Rainbow look and omitted the white part of the onions. Could have used red onions though, fitting for the Rainbow theme you seem to be going with.
He should make the bread and sausages not a real cook just a garnisher
No onions , I'm out
He’s going in deep.
Let’s get that oven and grill cleaned up for your next episode! 👌🏼
i
Unwatchable. End this guys career.
No onions or marinara sauce. Should have done the sausage in the oven and then used the natural fat to do the peppers and onions. Just another no cooking food network asshole.
👎🏾
Delicious! 🤮🍌🍓https://youtu.be/ZHSUwNjKvZY
Nice meat
🤣😂🤣 “Help JUICEN up that sausage. ❤️🥰❤️
Yum 🤤
Love it with caramelized onions and mustard! Yum!
I add tomatoes and onions to mine and use provolone
Is it just me or does he look like a chubbier version of a young Jean Claude van Damme?!
Lekkerste sarmie ou 🇿🇦
Met him years ago in South Philly while filming at a local slop shop. This guy is totally in love with himself. I hear he's got his own line of mirrors for sale at Home Depot…
Ugh, take that nasty casing off the sausages and roast them in the oven with the peppers.
Sheesh.
LOL
I got as far as him burying those beautiful peppers and oil. That's got to be the greasiest sausage and peppers I've ever seen in my life
Okay not only did he Grease the bejesus out of those peppers so they're going to be inedibly oily, as soon as he reached for powder to garlic, I stopped the video and watched something else. Ouch

Jeff is the Richard Simmons of sausage.
where the heck are the beautifully grilled onions??????? what kind of italian sausage n pepper hero leaves out the grilled onions??? and who puts CHEESE on a sausage n pepper hero???? yikes.
Who roasts the peppers. Fry the sausage and then fry those peppers in the sausage fat.
What a dork
Ma che schifo!
No onions? The cheese? No…. looks good n id probably love it but i prefer the state fair style polish lol, but i will try this here n thanks! Hey… any polish sausage is a great polish sausage in my book!👍
This guy is such a tool
I always see this guys just standing around. Didnt know he cooked too
I'm gooing in deep 😍
Annoying and 5 out of 10 on the sandwich
Please stop the silly antics.
I have to admit I’ve always had a crush on Jeff i always thought he was really cute😬😂😝
Bbqing indoors. Great way to do it! Great video! Thanks!
My family loves when I cook sauage and sweet peppers 🌶🫑with white🍚 rice, red wine Vinegar and soy sauce 😋! It's so good! I like to use Johnsonville Smoked Sausages with my recipe…If I could find a better smoked Sausage brand i would definitely give it a try. I just don't really like the sweetness from the Italian Sausages. Idk!
But anyways…Sometimes I will add a twist to it n add half of a onion 🧅or a small onion sliced (we are not big onion fan's) a few carrot🥕sticks and a few pc's of raw 🥦 then add a couple tbs of minced 🧄, salt and paper let it simmer and cook everything down some in the vinegar & soy sauce! It's just so delicious!! Then it's dinner time 🍽!! It's a must try recipe! It's so easy. I also cut up the smoked sauages and add it to the pan 5 mins b4 serving so it doesn't get mushy. My family loves it! My recipe is for anyone who is interested. I cook it for at 20-25mins til all veggies are cooked but they still have a little crunch to them. Nobody likes soggy vegetables. It's like cooking a stir fry! Thats what I call it.
Now I remember why I would change the channel. This guy still annoys me and this sandwich was just ok.
You can always tell a food network production. They make their hosts act so insufferable. This guy doesn’t exist in real life.
if you need to watch a video to make this please just turn around and get the fck out of the kitchen
Delicious.
