EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED; ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Split your sausages down the middle, but do not cut all the way through.
• Add sausages to a pan, flatten, add water, cover and steam over med-high heat. If they start to curl, lay a heavy plate or bowl on them to keep them flat.
• While you are cooking your sausages:.
• Cut your washed, seeded/veined peppers, into 2" long, (think egg noodle for width) pieces-.
• Split your rolls (again, not all the way through)-.
• Heat up your spaghetti/marinara sauce-.
• Get your cheese grated, if it's not already-.
• Cut up onions & mushrooms, if your using them-.
• Make your au jus-.
• Add the garlic Powder & black pepper to your au jus, (not garlic salt, au jus is already salty, you will ruin it if you add garlic salt instead of powder)-.
• Keep rotating your peppers, & your sausages,.
• The sausages will begin to brown as the water evaporates, (add a little more if needed), the steaming of them first helps them to cook thoroughly without burning,.
• Butter your bread (or brush olive oil on the rolls if you prefer) sprinkle with garlic powder (again Not garlic salt) & put under the broiler, or toast in your toaster oven,.
• DON'T forget them & burn them!
• When they're done, set aside somewhere warm until you're ready for them,.
• If your sausages are done at this point:.
• Remove sausages from pan, set aside-.

• Return sausages to pan with the peppers (& mushrooms and/or onions if you're using them)-
• Add 1/4-1/2 C of au jus to the pan-.
• Turn, rotate, re-arrange (whatever) the party in the pan, add more au jus if needed, but when everything is done there should only be a little au jus that has not cooked into, or evaporated into everything else, but not yet dry-.
• Assemble your Sandwiches:.
• Brush each toasted roll, with a little au jus on each side,.
• Add 1 link of sausage to a roll, (keep sausage 'open') lay peppers (onions and/or mushrooms) on top of the sausage,.
• Sprinkle approximately a handful (I like those measurements, don't you?) of cheese to your sandwich,.

• Again, leave sandwiches open, lay under broiler, or preferably in your toaster oven, until cheese in melted,.
