Janelle writes: "Baseball season is an exciting time of year for my "boys". School lets out, we come home, do homework, Daddy gets home from work, I finish dinner and away those boys go! I love seeing my husband and son spending time together doing something they both love. I also love spending time alone with the girls :)


Here are two delicious sandwiches that can be made in a jiffy for those busy weekday nights...or any night! Love to you, Janelle "

Crockpot Italian Sausage Hoagies

(These are also great sandwiches for company after church!)

Beef broth, water and Italian sausage. You may use any kind of Italian sausage you like. I have sweet Italian sausage picture above. You may enjoy hot, mild, sweet, etc.

Simply place Italian sausage in a large crockpot, cover with beef broth and water. Turn on high for 4-6 hours. You may add onions, red and green peppers to the crock pot during this time. I choose to saute mine-both ways work!

Here I sauted sliced onions on med-high heat in a little cooking spray until tender.

This is after 6 hours of cooking in the crock pot- these sausages are SO tender and juicy..MMmmm..

I'll give you 2 guesses what is in dijon mayonnaise...

Mix together

Whala! This really makes the sandwich!

Place Italian sausage in a hoagie bun top with fresh swiss cheese, onions (peppers if desired) and dijon mayo. YUM!!!!

Crockpot Italian Sausage Hoagies
(makes 12- you may halve)

Italian sausage (12)
3 cups beef broth
water to cover
1 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 onion (peppers if desired)
cooking spray
2 cups shredded swiss cheese

Place Italian sausage, beef broth, and water in a crockpot. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. You may place onions/peppers in the crockpot all together, or you can saute them separately. Combine dijon and mayo in a small bowl. Place Italian sausage on hoagie bun top with cheese and onions/peppers and dijon mayo.

Chicken Hoagies

Start by marinating bite sized raw chicken breasts in 1 cup of italian dressing and 1 cup ranch dressing. (My friend Mary taught me this-I LOVE it)

Peppers and onions

In a large pan add chicken with a fork (you will get some marinade in the pan-this is okay). Cook on med-high heat until chicken is cooked through. Add salt and pepper.

Saute peppers and onions in cooking spray

Set aside cooked chicken.

Place hoagie buns topped with cheese under the broiler for 5 mins. (you may butter the buns if you wish)

5 mins= Enough time to play airplane, lol.

Add chicken, peppers and onions! 

A winner with the boys!

Chicken Hoagies

(makes 6)

4 chicken breasts cut up raw

1 cup Italian dressing

1 cup Ranch dressing

1 cup or 6 slices swiss cheese

1 onion

1 green pepper

1 red pepper

1 package hoagie buns

salt and pepper if desired

Cut raw chicken into bite sized pieces and marinate in Italian/Ranch dressing for at least 2 hours. Take chicken out with fork and place onto large pan. Cook on medium-high heat until chicken is done, add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Saute onions and peppers in cooking spray. Broil hoagie buns with cheese under broiler for 5 mins. Add chicken, peppers and onions. Whala!

I hope these quick and easy hoagie recipes will come in handy for you Ladies! They are much tastier (and most likely healthier) than getting them at your local sub shop! Enjoy!
