How to Make Grilled Hot Italian Sausage Sandwich

  1. Chop 1 large green bell pepper and 1 large onion into ½-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. While the peppers and onions cook, prepare the sausages. Using a sharp knife, slice each of the 4 Italian sausages lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating a butterfly effect.
  4. Place the sausages in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes to partially cook them. This helps prevent them from drying out on the grill.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill the sausages, open-side down, for 3-4 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly charred. (Internal temperature should reach 160°F).
  7. Lightly toast the homemade burger buns on the grill for a minute per side.
  8. Place two sausages in each bun. Top with the cooked peppers and onions.
  9. Add sliced pickled jalapeños (optional).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
