Sausage Pepper Melts

Filed under: — Kristen :) @ 1:47 pm

This one is super easy and doesn’t take much of any time at all since I utilize my handy dandy Trader Joe’s resources. Hopefully this recipe can free up a little more of your time for other things 🙂

Sausage Pepper Melts

Serves: 4

  • 4 links of your fav chicken sausage (I used TJ’s Garlic & Herb)
  • 1 pkg crimini mushrooms (8oz), chopped
  • 1 pkg TJ’s frozen grilled peppers & onions mix
  • 4 slices of your fav cheese (I used lite muenster)
  • 4 Nature’s Pride Country White Deli Rolls

Note:  I received these Nature’s Pride Sesame rolls for free as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker’s Program.

I actually really liked these rolls, and while I don’t always like to choose white flour, they had a really great texture and slightly sweet flavor.

This is the chicken sausage I picked up at TJ’s and it has a great flavor!

Instructions

Sauté the sausage on a grill pan or outside grill until golden (mine were already cooked).

Meanwhile sauté the mushrooms and peppers in another large pan until heated and golden.  Place all your fillings + 1/2 the cheese in the pan, top with opened bun, and steam for about 4-5 minutes.

Flip bun over and top with the rest of the cheese to melt. Easy!

I felt like having a beer with this because it just seems like the kind of meal to have an ice cold bruskie with, doesn’t it?  I went to the very back of my fridge and grabbed what I could find.  Oh yes, a Pyramid Apricot Ale, my favorite beer!

Well I poured it into a glass . . .

But it didn’t look quite right all the fizz was gone.  hmmmm . . . so I looked on the expiration date and it said 9/30/09!!  I guess I haven’t had a beer in awhile.  So I grabbed one of these because, while it didn’t have a date on it, it still at least had some fizz 🙂

I really like TJ’s Bavarian Hefe too.  It has glorious flavor characteristics of banana, gum, clove and grain.  mmm
