JUST ANOTHER DOLLHOUSE DELIGHT, SEWING STILL TO COME...

...I've truly been in love with Italian Sausages I think since first tasting them who know how long ago.  I used to wait until the annual fall county fair to have one - or maybe two.  But last year at the fair they weren't that great so I decided to start making my own. You know the type - smothered in colorful peppers, onion and just a little bit of tomato sauce - on a big old hoagie bun.   Looks something like this in my big old cast iron skillet...

 ...and something like this on my sesame seed bun

Mmmmmmmmmm, smoking!  I'm a glutton for colorful food - I MUST have color on my plate, after all we eat first with the eyes.   

I don't need a recipe for everything, but I do like them for most things.  I modified Pat and Gina's recipe from Food Network - mine has fewer ingredients but I really love the results I get.

Dollhouse Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onion

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 package Johnsonville Sweet Italian Sausage (or flavor of your choice)
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow onions, sliced, (or colors of your choice)
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1- 4 oz. can Tomato Sauce
• 5 Sesame seed hoagie rolls (or roll or bun of your choice)

Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and brown on all sides, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from skillet and reserve.
Add onions and peppers to the skillet and saute until tender and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic. Stir in the tomato sauce. Cook for a few minutes, then add the sausages back to the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is nice and thick, about 10 minutes.
Serve on a nice hoagie roll
NOTE:  I've even gotten brave enough to try this with Beer Brats and they are just as wonderful!, no more waiting until fair time rolls around.
ENJOY!!!!
