Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet or spicy, reduced fat Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup beer
6 submarine rolls
1/4 cup Dijon mustard, optional

Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Slice the sausages in half lengthwise and add them to the skillet. Brown on each side for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

2. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet. Add the peppers and cook for 2 minutes. Add the onion and continue cooking for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. Return the sausage to the pan, add the beer and cook for 5 minutes or until the sausages are completely done.

4. Meanwhile, toast the rolls. Place 2 sausage halves on each toasted roll and top with the peppers and onions. Serve with Dijon mustard, if desired.
