  1. Very good recipe! I used hot italian turkey sausage and added some onion and garlic. I cooked the sausage, peppers, onion and garlic together to skip a step and it came out wonderfully. I served the sausage mixture on crusty italian hoagie rolls and topped with shredded italian four cheese. Yum! Thanks for a great and easy recipe.
     
  2. Oh, yummy! Great sandwich for a late Saturday lunch. Wow were they filling, lol. I cooked up some mushrooms and onions with the peppers and mixed that with the sausage. I used mozzarella, lots and lots of mozzarella, lol!
     
  3. I thought they turned out really good but I had to add a lot of seasonings to give it flavor. I added garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper and salt. I only used the mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed it on bread but next time I think I will use more sauce and serve over rice or pasta
     
  4. This was good and easy to make. I used a pound and a half of sweet sausage. I then used a 14 ounce bag of frozen red and green peppers with onions. I cooked this all up and the added the sauce. I then put the mixture in the crockpot. I used mozzarella cheese. We all enjoyed these.
     
  5. Got rave reviews from all members of the family. I made a mistake and added the 1/2 cup of cheese at the same time as the pasta sauce. Seemed to work ok, just made the stirring a bit sticky. I used hot italian sausage and french rolls. Thanks so much for sharing.

Tweaks

  1. This was a really good recipe. It didn't take long to prepare and everyone liked it. Instead of panini bread, I used garlic bread that I baked before adding the sausage mixture. I also misread the ingredients and added shredded cheddar during the first cheese addition. I then read the ingredients and topped the sandwiches with provolone before I broiled them. Thanks for the great recipe! I will definitely make this again.
     
  2. Sooooo yummy! I made a melt for breakfast this morning and absolutely loved it! I used a hot sausage, spicy tomato and basil pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese. I subbed diced onions and sliced mushrooms for the green pepper since I don't like them cooked. Perfection! Thanks for sharing another great recipe, Lori! **Made for Fall PAC 2009**
