Calories: 645kcal
Ingredients
- 1 link Kielbasa
- 1 tablespoon Oil for sautéing Vegetable oil, Canola, or Olive Oil
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion sliced ¼-1/2 inch thick
- 1 Green Pepper sliced and seeds removed
- 6 oz Sliced Button or Baby Bella Mushrooms Optional
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 hoagie buns
Topping Options
- Mustard, Mayo, or Ketchup
- Banana Peppers
- Pepper Relish
- Sauerkraut
- Horseradish Mayo
Instructions
- Heat large, wide bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon Oil for sautéing and 1 Medium Yellow Onion. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Onions should be very translucent. You may need to turn up the heat if the stovetop burner is weaker.
- In the same skillet add 1 Green Pepper and 6 oz Sliced Button or Baby Bella Mushrooms. Cook about 5 minutes and then add 1 link Kielbasa. Toss occasionally until onions are caramelized and sausage is heated through, about 10 more minutes. If you would like more caramelization on the onions, remove the sausage link and cook the onions until satisfied.
- Cut kielbasa to appropriate length, and slice in half lengthwise. Add to 3 hoagie buns. Top with onions, peppers, and mushrooms and 6 slices provolone cheese.
- Serve with Mustard, Mayo, or Ketchup and other condiments.
Notes
Make-Ahead: You can caramelize the vegetables and kielbasa a few hours ahead and keep them warm in a crockpot. It’s also great if you are cooking large batches.
How to Store Leftovers: Keep the cooked meat and veggies separate from the buns and cheese and cover in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of kielbasa and onions to a small frying pan over low heat and cook until hot. You can also heat in a microwave-safe bowl. Top with the desired cheese and heat until melted.
How to Freeze: Keep the cooked meat and onions separate from the buns and sauce and cover in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating.
