Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwich

Juicy

This simple Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwich is perfect for a weekend bbq. Homemade Sicilian sausage is the best but your favorite store bought sausage will be just fine.

What makes this sandwich great is the topping. I use roasted green and red sweet bell peppers mixed with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Just season the mixture with fresh basil and dried oregano and serve the sausage on a nice garlic toasted dinner roll.

You can also replace the Grilled Italian Sausage with tender seasoned grilled chicken. It’s delicious using the same topping.

Don't forget a little giardiniera. Enjoy!

Cut the peppers into quarters and clean out all the seeds.

Place the peppers on the grill skin side down for about 20 minutes until the skins are charred black.

Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until they are cool enough to handle. Around 20 minutes.

Remove the skin from the peppers, cut into strips and set aside.

Place the sausages on the grill and cook for around 15 to 20 minutes turning the sausages throughout the cooking process.

Meanwhile in a large frying pan sauté the onions and mushrooms in the olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the peppers and heat through.

Prepare the dinner rolls by creaming the butter and garlic together and spreading it on the rolls
