Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
  • 1-1/2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • 1 medium green pepper, julienned
  • 1 medium sweet yellow pepper, julienned
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 8 pretzel or regular hamburger buns, split
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat for four to six minutes or until it's no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain off the excess fat.
  2. Add the sauerkraut, peppers and onion. Cook the mixture, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes longer or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Spoon the meat mixture onto the bun bottoms. Place the sliced cheese over the meat. Top the buns.
  4. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake them for four to six minutes or until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasty.
