Sliced bell peppers of any color are a perfect stand-in for the mini sweet peppers.

If youre looking for a shortcut, use jarred roasted red peppers.

This recipe was developed by Melissa Gray.

Place sausages on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Bake until a thermometer inserted in center of sausages reads 130F, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium.

Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 4 minutes.

Add peppers and increase heat to medium-high.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender and onion is deep brown, about 10 minutes.

Stir in garlic, oregano, and salt.

Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Place hoagie rolls in oven, directly on rack, until warm, about 3 minutes.

Transfer pepper mixture to a medium bowl.

Wipe skillet clean and return to medium-high.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and place sausages, cut side down, in skillet.

Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip and cook until browned on other side, 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk mayonnaise, harissa, and vinegar in a small bowl.

Split hoagie rolls lengthwise.

Slather most of harissa mayo on cut sides of each roll; stuff with pepper mixture and sausages.

Drizzle with remaining harissa mayo.
