INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Dempster’s® Signature Gold Sausage Buns, split and toasted
  • 4 Italian sausages
  • 1 red pepper, halved
  • 1 green pepper, halved
  • 1 onion, sliced into 1/2-inch (1 cm) rounds
  • 1 cup (250 mL) tomato sauce, heated
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, halved

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Grill sausages for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, grill red pepper, green pepper and onion rounds for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until well marked and tender. Let cool slightly; slice vegetables.
  2. Preheat broiler. Assemble sausages in buns with vegetables, tomato sauce and cheese.
  3. Broil on foil-lined baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese starts to melt.

Tips:

• Use spicy or sweet sausages depending on preference.

• Substitute mozzarella or shredded Italian cheese blend for provolone if preferred.

• Alternatively, instead of broiling sandwiches to melt cheese, return to grill set over indirect heat. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
