Notes

To make the Hot Dago recipe even better, here are some helpful tips:
 
  • Choose Quality Sausage: Look for fresh Italian sausage for the best flavor. You can use sweet or spicy sausage based on your preference.
  • Customize Your Peppers: Feel free to mix and match your favorite peppers. Bell peppers, banana peppers, or even jalapeños can add different flavors.
  • Add Garlic: For an extra kick, try adding minced garlic when sautéing the peppers and onions. It enhances the flavor of the dish.
  • Toast Your Bread: Lightly toast your hoagie or sub rolls before filling them. This adds a nice crunch and helps hold the ingredients together.
  • Experiment with Cheese: While provolone is a classic choice, you can also try mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack for a unique twist.
  • Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the cooking time for the sausage. You want it cooked through but not dry.
