Make
- Turn on the oven’s broiler (use the low setting if available). Place an oven rack about 6” / 15cm below the broiler.
- Slice open hoagie rolls and place cut-side up on a sheet pan. Soften butter in microwave and combine with garlic and Italian seasoning. Brush seasoned butter over tops of hoagie rolls. Broil hoagie rolls until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for hoagies) and then sausage, peppers, and onions.
- Saute until sausage is starting to brown and vegetables are tender, ~6 minutes.
- Divide sausage and vegetables between hoagie rolls. Top with cheese.
- Return skillet / wok to heat and add oil (portion for zucchini). Saute zucchini until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add Cajun seasoning and some salt. Saute for 1 minute more. Squeeze lemon juice over top.
- Just before serving, broil sandwiches until cheese is melted and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes (watch closely to prevent burning).
- Serve sandwiches with zucchini on the side. Enjoy!

This was really good. I used havarti cheese and I didn't make the zucchini side so I mixed cajun seasoning into the butter that was brushed on the bread instead because I like spice. They were delicious. I definitely will make these again.
0 HelpfulHusband loved the meal. The Cajun zucchinis were good but too spicy for my toddler, and nearly me. I used cooked chicken sausage as that’s what I had. Overall I was very impressed with how quickly everything came together
