Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions Casserole - ish
I have found a great way on how to use a few leftovers and make an ordinary meal taste even better.
This week I did a bunch of freezer meals and one of them was the Italian Sausage, Peppers and Onions.
Ingredients:
5 Italian Sausage Links
1 nice green pepper or I used about 8 of the sweet Peppers (I had them in the fridge) slice them up.
1 really large onion (I sliced them length wise like strips to match the peppers)
1 12oz jar of tomato sauce (can or jar) (if you have any leftover sauce- use it)
Instructions:
1) Poke the Italian Sausage Links and then saute them in a pan. When they are done, cool a bit and then cut into chunks.
2) In the pan with a little olive oil, start the onions, peppers and when they are soft, dump back in the sausage and the tomato sauce. Saute for a bit to warm through.
At this point you can layer into a 9x13 and freeze for a meal. You can eat this on pasta, or even hogie rolls with a bit of cheese.
We however are going to use this for the Casserole-ish....
Onward.....
Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions Casserole - ish
Ingredients:
Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions (all ready) (warm it up)
Bread (any kind of bread. I used my leftover hamburger buns. But you could use any kind.)
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Garlic Salt
Olive Oil
Instructions:
1) Rub your pan with Olive Oil, this will make a crispy bottom to your bread layer.
2) Lay in the buns inside up.
3) Sprinkle a thin layer of motzerella cheese on top.
4) Put this pan in the oven at 400 for about 5 minutes, so the cheese melts and the bottom is a little crusty.
5) Remove pan from oven and gently empty put the warm Italian Sausage, Peppers and Onions Mixture on the top.
6) Sprinkle with the rest of the Mozzarella cheese on top.
7) Pop back into oven and let it come together and the cheese brown a bit. check the bottom to make sure they don't burn.
This was very good, the bottom was so crusty and crunchy. The sausage and peppers was very good. I also found out that instead of eating three sandwiches, they became open faced sandwiches. Actually saved on how much bread we actually ate.
I can see this for meatballs, sloppy joes, and even bq. Great family style way to eat a meal.
See sometimes, the easy stuff is just delicious. It really is just this simple.
Well I am off to get my kid to bed, just wanted to do quick share...
