MrsDrPoe: Sausage Sandwiches

What's for Dinner this Wednesday is a special treat that we only get when I come across a great deal on sausages...sausage sandwiches.

Ingredients: Sausages, 1/8 onion (sliced), 1/2 bell pepper (sliced), buns.

In a medium skillet over med-high heat, cook the sausages and sliced veggies until the onions are caramelized, meat is warm, and the peppers are softened (about 15 minutes).  

Place the sausage in a bun and layer some cooked veggies over it and enjoy:

This time I found turkey sausage on sale...less fat but still pretty tasty!
