• If you prefer a spicier sandwich, you can add some crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
• To make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-made frozen meatballs instead of ground beef and Italian sausage. Just thaw and heat them in the skillet before adding the vegetables and sauce.

• Leftover Italian Joes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
