In the Kitchen!!

I really used to hate to cook, but recently Gina and I have started finding different recipes and putting our little spin on them. We have a good time in the kitchen when we cook together. It is just more time that I get to spend with her. We recently made a sandwich that was awesome. I was on the internet looking for something good to eat and I came across this awesome recipe on the Pat and Gina Neely's website on Food Network. We love to watch them cook. They are a very cool couple that love to make some good food (especially some BBQ)!!! This recipe is called Smoked Sausage and Pepper Sandwich. Man was it good. Would also be good over some rice. In case you would like to try it out here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound smaoked sausge, sliced into quarters then lengthwise

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 orange bell pepper, sliced

2 medium yellow onions, sliced

3 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup Neely's BBQ sauce

4 fresh hoagie rolls

Provolone Cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausages and brown on all sides, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from skillet and reserve.

Add onions and peppers to the skillet and saute until tender and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste, water, and BBQ sauce. Cook for a few minutes, then add the sausges back to the pan. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce is nice and thick, about 10 minutes.

Slice the bread open, put on sheet tray, and toast in oven while the sausge is simmering. Remove the bread from the oven and fill the the sausages and peppers.

Transfer to serving dishes and serve.
