Hubby loved this. I did change the recipe a bit. I didn't add the tomato paste or the rest of the seasonings. The taste was awesome with the beer, peppers, onions and garlic. Hubby said I can make this again :)

Was really yummy!! I omited the cilantro and added a little brown sugar to cut the acidity of the tomato paste. I put it all on top of jalapeno garlic bread. Not for weight watchers!

Made this for Memorial Day weekend for some friends - love cilantro but not in this dish. Will leave cilantro out next time and maybe add more traditional italian spices.

Outstanding! First time using beer and tomato paste but it won't be the last. I worked with 2 lbs of sausages and was able to make 6 9-inch hefty subs. Hubby said to not lose this recipe 'cause that's the way he wants them from now on. Thanks for the best sandwich we've had in a long time. Made for the Aussie Swap.
