Sausage Subs

     Super Bowl 50 is just a couple of hours away and it's time to get dinner going. Tonight: super easy Sausage Subs. 

The ingredients:

1. Sausages. I'm using sweet Italian sausages from Riverbend Family Farms, a locally-owned farm. Last time I made these sandwiches I used spicy sausages from the same farm. It was awesome.
2. Marinara or spaghetti sauce. I'm partial to Classico because I like the low sugar content.  
3. Bell pepper
4. Onion
5. Sub rolls

     That's it. Five ingredients. The beer's just an added bonus. Today's choice is an oatmeal porter from Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, North Carolina.

    

     First, cook the sausage in the pan. While it's cooking, slice up your bell pepper and onions. When the sausage is done, drain the grease from the pan and toss in the onions and peppers for just a minute, until the edges brown up a bit.  

   

     Cover everything with your red sauce of choice. Pour a little more than you think you'd need--it will thicken up some.

     Let it simmer, covered, for at least an hour so the tastes of the sausage, pepper, and onion get into the sauce. Uncover and simmer for a little while longer until it reduces to the consistency you want. 

     Easy. Delicious. 

     Enjoy!

Little man here woke up from his nap to the sound of
sizzling sausage. Pretty sure he's hoping for a sandwich.
