Because I'm particular and wanted my sausage perfectly browned all the way around, I used a fry pan and held it with tongs to get every part of it (whole) browned.  Of course, I was makine one sandwich but I'd do the same for several because the browning seemed important for flavor. 

I removed the browned whole sausage then cooked the strips of pepper and onion with garlic and seasoning in the same pan.  When nearly done, I sliced the sausage and added it into the pan of vegetables to finish.  While that was happening, the roll was toasting in the air fryer.

(I should add that I gave the pan a slight spray of olive oil and forked the sausage so it would release some fat. I'm avoiding fat intake and blotted the filled sandwich with a paper towel to draw out excess.)

I still dirtied only one pan, easy clean up.  Whenever I make this again, I'd like to try air frying all of it and see how it browns up that way -- but then slicing it up and mixing it back in with the vegetables would be more of a hassle, a larger appliance to clean, so nevermind.  LOL

Did you leave the sausage whole or slice it?

If you left it whole by the time it was cooked wouldn't the peppers and onions be mushy?

Was this a question about my Crockpot recipe?  If so, I cook the sausages whole.  I find the vegetables to be only softened, not mushy after a couple hours.

Since I'm originally from NJ, I do remember those sandwiches as a kid when my Mom took me to a flea market place. Then when I was of driving age, those sandwiches smelled so good when I was down the shore on the boardwalk.

I still make them for us and I must say, they are still one of my favorites along with a slice of Jersey tomato, arugala & mozzarella sandwich on a roll. Yum
