1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook for 3 minutes, until softening.

2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

3. Add the chicken sausage meat, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes, until no pink remains and the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Pour in the dry red wine and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise and place both halves cut side up on a baking sheet.

7. Spoon the sausage mixture evenly over the bottom half of the bread. Top with the sliced provolone cheese and the sliced roasted pepper.

8. Replace the top half of the bread and wrap the loaf loosely in foil. Bake for 5 minutes, then unwrap and bake 2 minutes more, until the cheese melts. Slice and serve warm.
