Boston Sausage Grinder (Or Submarine Sandwich)

Tasty, filling, and easy!!! Great football fare for those hungry boys (and girls)! Increase ingredient amounts for those Sunday afternoon crowds...just put out the sausage mixture and let everyone make their own grinders. Use a disposable roasting pan for easy clean-up.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb  link hot Italian sausage
• 1⁄2 lb  link  sweet Italian sausage
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces, and patted dry
• 1  large green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
• 1  large red sweet bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
• 1  large yellow onion, cut in half and thinly sliced crosswise
• 2  garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 1  large  Italian bread or 6  hoagie rolls

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place sausages in roasting pan; rub sausages with oil. Roast 15 minutes. Remove sausages from oven and when they are cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size chunks, 3/4 to 1 inch. Return sausage to roasting pan. Add potatoes.
3. Lower oven heat to 350 degrees. Return pan to oven and roast about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and sausages are cooked.
4. Add peppers, onion, and garlic to the roasting pan. Roast about 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
5. Cut loaf of Italian bread in half horizontally. Cut crosswise into sixths, for a total of 12 pieces, or 6 sandwiches (or cut 6 hoagie rolls halfway through). Place equal amounts of sausage mixture into each sandwich. Serve hot.
