- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Sandwiches:
- 4 hoagie or sandwich rolls
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- Sauté Peppers and Onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and red onion, sauté for 6–8 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, then set aside.
