All kidding aside, though, this recipe really is spectacular. The peppers and sausage are cooked perfectly in a delicious mix of marinara sauce and spices.

1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, Optional

1 Cup Shredded Italian Cheese Blend, For serving, optional

If desired, toast the hoagie rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.  Fill each roll with one sausage and desired amount of sauce.  Top with shredded cheese and broil for 1-2 more minutes until cheese is melted.  Serve immediately.
