Italian Sausage Sandwiches

Italian Sausage Sandwiches

1 pound Italian sausage
2 hoagie buns
1/2 cup mild or hot banana pepper rings
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Form Italian sausage to fit hoagie buns.  In large skillet, fry Italian sausage until cooked through.

Place hoagie buns under the broiler and toast until golden brown.  Remove from oven and place sausage patties on bottom part of the buns.

Arrange peppers over top of sausage patties.  

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top.  

Broil until cheese melts and is golden brown.  Makes 2 servings

This super simple sandwich is one of my husband's favorites.  The spicy sausage, with the sweet pickled pepper rings, and the melted mozzarella cheese, all on a toasted bun, is a combination my husband thinks can't be beat.  I have tried to talk him into making changes to the sandwich, but he has asked me not to "mess" with his sandwich, so I guess I will leave it just like it is.
