Instructions:

1. Make the irresistible pepper relish: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Fresno chilies, garlic, jalapeos, bell peppers, and onion; saut 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in apple cider vinegar, honey, and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy, about 10 minutes. This quick relish bursts with sweet-heat flavor!
2. Grill the smoky sausage: While relish simmers, melt butter on a hot griddle over medium-high heat. Place sausage pieces cut-side down; cook until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes. Flip, top each with 2 provolone slices, and cook until cheese melts into gooey perfection, 2-3 more minutes. The smoky char will have you craving a bite already.
3. Assemble and devour: Spread mayo on toasted hoagie bottoms, layer with crisp green leaf lettuce, add cheesy sausage, and pile on generous spoonfuls of warm pepper relish. Cap with top buns and serve hotthese hoagies deliver juicy, spicy, melty bliss in every crunchy bite. Fire up your griddle and wow your crew tonight!
