Italian Sausage Hoagies

10 uncooked Italian sausage links
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned
1/2 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 loaves French bread (20 inches)

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown sausage in oil; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the spaghetti sauce, peppers, water, cheese, oregano and basil. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until sausage is no longer pink.

Slice each French bread lengthwise but not all of the way through; cut each loaf widthwise into five pieces. Fill each with sausage, peppers and sauce. Makes 10 servings.
