Frank's Italian Sausage Sandwiches

Ingredients:

2 – 2 ½ lbs. bulk mild Italian sausage
1 large sweet onion (sliced)
3 bell peppers (one green, one red and one yellow) – (cut into strips)
1 lb. shredded Mozzarella cheese
3 large cans Pastorelli Pizza Sauce
Fresh garlic
Olive oil
Jewel bakery hotdog rolls


Directions:

In a large frying pan, add some olive oil to sauté the sliced onions and pepper strips until tender, I like to add a few cloves of crushed garlic once the veggies are halfway tender so the garlic doesn’t burn. Once the veggies are tender, remove from the frying pan into a bowl.

In the same frying pan, brown the bulk Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain the fat, then cook just a bit longer. Add the veggies and two cans of Pastorelli Pizza Sauce, then simmer. With one can of pizza sauce remaining, add additional sauce as needed so the mixture isn’t too dry.

Slice open the Jewel bakery hotdog rolls, but do not cut all of the way through. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Add mixture to the hotdog rolls, then top with a layer of shredded Mozzarella cheese and place sandwiches on a flat baking sheet. Place baking sheet into pre-heated oven until the cheese melts. Serve warm sandwiches with your favorite side dish, I recommend an antipasto salad or fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with oil and vinegar.
