Sausage & Peppers Sub

Sometimes you just feel like a sub, don't you? This is a nice combo and you can add or delete condiments that appeal to you.

1 lb smoked chicken sausage, cut diagonally
1 green pepper in strips
1 onion in strips
4 garlic cloves, chopped
some olive oil
salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, some red pepper flakes
1/2 can tomato sauce
maybe a 1/4 cup salsa
some shredded cheese
yellow pepper rings
sub buns

In large skillet, brown the sausage pieces well. Remove to plate. Add the pepper and onion and cook for 6 or 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add the spices. Add the sausage back to the skillet and add the tomato sauce and salsa--if mixture seems too thick, add some water (1/4 cup). Stir well and then cover and simmer for 1/2 hour.

When ready to serve, ladle mixture into sub bun, sprinkle with cheese and add hot pepper rings (if you wish).
