A flavorful twist on the classic sloppy joe, featuring Italian sausage and a medley of herbs and spices.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the Italian sausage.
Breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks ensures even cooking and better texture.
Add the garlic, green pepper, and onion to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they release their aroma and become tender for maximum flavor.
Stir in the tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, chili powder, and fennel seed.
Mix the sauce thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Spoon the mixture onto your preferred bread or roll and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese melted and the filling warm.
