Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sausages in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the sausages for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the sausages are baking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Toss until everything is well coated.
Halfway through baking, remove the sausages from the oven, flip them over, and return them to the oven to finish cooking.
Split the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for a few minutes until lightly golden.
Once the sausages are fully cooked, remove them from the baking dish and set them aside. Do not discard the drippings.
Pour the sausage drippings from the baking dish into a small saucepan.
To the saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring continuously until the butter is melted and all the spices are well combined.
To assemble, fill each toasted hoagie roll with a generous amount of the prepared coleslaw.
Place one cooked sausage on top of the coleslaw in each bun.
Top each sausage with a slice of provolone cheese.
Place the assembled sandwiches back on the baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and drizzle the Nashville hot sauce over the top.
Garnish with dill pickle slices, if desired, and serve immediately.
Assemble sandwiches fresh. Store coleslaw and spicy butter separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days; reheat butter gently before serving.
Prepare the coleslaw and spicy butter sauce up to 1 day ahead. Cook and assemble sandwiches just before serving for best texture on the bread.
The heat comes from Nashville hot-style sausage plus cayenne pepper in the butter sauce. Reduce cayenne or use mild sausage if you prefer less spice.
Nashville hot-style sausage (precooked or raw) delivers authentic flavor. If unavailable, use spicy Italian sausage and add extra cayenne to the butter.
Provolone is traditional, but cheddar, pepper jack, or American cheese work as substitutes for different flavor profiles.
Toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling, apply coleslaw just before serving, and drizzle spicy butter on top rather than underneath.
