Sausage, Peppers and Onions

I recently went to New York with Chris, my mom, two of my brothers and my nephew to see a Yankees game in their new stadium. Besides the fact that it was 110 degrees and we were sweating beyond belief the entire game (oh, and they lost), we had a really good time and the new stadium was gorgeous. One of the things that made it so great was, quite frankly, the food. New York vendor food is just the best. The pretzels, dirty water hot dogs, knishes....there's just nothing else like it.

One thing I didn't get while I was up there was a sausage, peppers and onions sandwich. That's another one of my favorites, but my stomach just couldn't handle anything else after the seven other things I shoved in my mouth. Making this at home seemed like the next best obvious solution. Despite the fact that this only took about 20 minutes to make, it was sooo delicious. I used frozen strips of green and red bell peppers and onions, so that took away all of the chopping time. Always a bonus. I decided to use tomato sauce as the base and then lightly spruced it up with some seasonings. So good!! Hope you enjoy :)
