Method
 

Bake the Sausage
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place sausages in a baking dish and coat with about 4 tablespoons of oil, rolling them to fully coat.

Make the Coleslaw
  1. In a bowl, combine:
  2. Coleslaw mix
  3. Marzetti’s dressing
  4. 1 tsp hot honey (or hot sauce)
  5. Mix well and refrigerate while sausages cook. This helps the flavor develop.

  1. Once sausages are done, remove them from the pan and pour the oil into a saucepan.
  2. Add:

  5. Heat over medium to medium-high until it begins to bubble.
  6. Stir, then reduce heat—once combined, it’s ready.
Toast the Rolls
  1. Increase oven to 400°F.
  2. Place hoagie rolls directly on the rack and toast for 5–6 minutes, until lightly golden.
Assemble the Sandwiches
  1. Layer each roll:
  2. Coleslaw
  3. Sausage
  4. 2 slices provolone
  5. Place under broil for 30–60 seconds until cheese is melted (watch closely!).
