Hot Sausage Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 5 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are tender, about 4 hours., Grill sausages according to package directions. Serve on buns with sauce. Freeze option: Freeze cooled sauce in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add water if necessary.

Steps:

• 1. For the sauce: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a few tablespoons olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the onions and garlic. Cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. ( about 10 minutes.)
• 2. Add the wine, tomatoes, paste, basil, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally checking every so often to add some water when becomes too thick - about 1/4 cup at a time.
• 3. Once the sauce has simmered for a few hours. Add the fresh parsley and parmesan. Stir and set aside. ( if you don't use a fresh sauce, and are using store bought, make sure you doctor it up with seasonings and especially garlic.
• 4. Sausage: In a large skillet. Cook your pieces of sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently so as not to burn. I just shake the skillet occasionally. Once sausage is cooked through and browning. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
• 5. Over medium heat,in the same skillet as you fried sausage, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion, peppers, mushrooms.( salt and pepper.) and minced garlic if not using a sauce. Saute until vegetables are tender, don't overcook as they will simmer for a bit in the sauce. ( if not using a sauce, cook veggies until completely tender.)
• 6. Once veggies are cooked; add the sausage back to the pan. ( This can actually be served as shown, if you don't like sauce.)
• 7. Measure about 2 cups prepared sauce, ( more depending how saucy you want them.) Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
• 8. Turn on broiler or grill. Toast desired amount of garlic bread you will need, until golden.
• 9. Top one half with sausage mixture...sprinkle with Parmesan and is feasting time. I've also used this sausage mixture to serve over pasta. Also, if you like it hotter, sprinkle with some red pepper flakes. This is great in hoagie rolls as well. Can also be kept warm in a crock pot or if making triple batches, have kept hot in a roaster. Serve this at your next picnic, it will be gone in no time. :)

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate, and set 4 inches from the heat.
• Pierce the sausages in a few places with a fork, and set aside. Slice off the bottoms of the onion halves so they will sit flat on the grill. Brush the bell pepper and onion halves with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
• Place the sausages, onions, and peppers on the preheated grill. Cook and turn the sausages until well browned and juices run clear. Cook vegetables until tender and peppers are slightly charred. Remove vegetables and sausages from the grill.
• Place the peppers in a paper bag, close, and cool slightly. Remove and discard the charred skin from the peppers; slice peppers into strips. Slice the onion halves. Place salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Add the peppers and onions, and toss until evenly coated. To serve, place sausages in sandwich rolls, and top with the pepper and onion mixture.

Steps:

• Brown the sausage in large skillet. Add water, red wine, onion slices and green pepper strips. Cover with lid and cook about 45 minutes or until done. Add tomato paste and cook until hot. Serve on rolls.

Steps:

• Place the sausages in a large nonstick skillet. Pierce the casings with a fork. Add 1-inch water to the pan. Bring liquid to a boil. Cover sausages, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Heat a second skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add garlic, onion, cubanelle and red peppers. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
• Drain sausages and return pan to stove, raising heat back to medium high. Add a drizzle of oil to the skillet, brown and crisp the casings. Remove sausages, slice into 2 inch pieces on an angle and set pieces back into the pan to sear.
• Split and toast the bread under broiler. Melt oil, butter together in small pan over medium heat. Add garlic and let it sizzle 1 or 2 minutes. Brush rolls with garlic butter and sprinkle with a little dried Italian seasoning blend.
• Combine the cooked peppers and onions to the sausages. Add hot peppers and hot pepper juice to the skillet. Toss and turn the sausage, peppers and onions, picking up all the drippings from the pan. Pile the meat and peppers into the garlic sub rolls and serve.

Steps:

• Place sausages and water in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover; cook 5-10 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Remove sausages and keep warm., In the same skillet, saute pepper and onion in oil until tender. Return sausages to pan. Stir in spaghetti sauce and basil; heat through. Serve sausages on buns with sauce and cheese.

Steps:

• Poke the sausages all over with a fork, and place in a large lidded skillet with 1-2 Tsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 cup white wine or water, turn on heat to medium, and partially cover.
• When pan begins to boil, turn sausages, and continue to simmer, turning several more times.
• When liquid has evaporated, uncover, and continue cooking until sausages have browned to your taste.
• Remove sausages from pan, and set on paper towels to drain.
• Drain all grease from skillet, but do not wash or rinse it.
• Add 1-2 Tsp more extra virgin olive oil to pan, and place on medium heat.
• Add onions, and garlic, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Moisture from the onions should be enough to deglaze the pan, but you can add 1/4 cup white wine or water, if desired, to help with the job.
• Stir the onions, scraping the bottom to pick up and dissolve browned bits from the sausage.
• Continue cooking and tossing until onions are almost translucent.
• Add peppers, and toss to combine with onions.
• Turn up heat to medium-high, and continue to toss and cook until peppers are crisp-tender or to your taste.
• Bury the sausage in the vegetables to reheat if necessary.
• I usually serve on crusty French rolls or Bolillos, crusty Mexican rolls that have been heated in the oven.
• Either one is better than your typical hoagie roll.
• I split the warmed roll, brush on a little marinara sauce, split the sausages lengthwise, and pile on the onions and peppers.
• If desired, line the roll with a slice of provolone and/or place one on top of the sausage and veggies.
