  • “Yum! This was a really good sandwich. I used hot Italian sausage and loved the onions and peppers on it. Thanks for sharing RecipeNut. Made for Cookbook Tag.”

  • “We really loved this bit of “fun in the sun” sausage & pepper hero. In Maryland, we have *Pollack Johnnies* that is so similar to this, toting a stall in Lexington Market. Not able to get there very much anymore, I was excited to find this recipe and it is really terrific. I followed this exactly, except only using all green peppers instead of the red/green as this is what I had in the summer garden. I had some fresh Italian hot sausage links, poked a couple of holes in the casing and browned away, (after first boiling it for 10 minutes) with the vegetables. A great meal, as previous reviewers have said. Thank you! June 2009″
