Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 links Italian sausages, uncooked (sweet or hot)
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (I used 4 colors already sliced from Trader Joe's)
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat swiss cheese, sliced (4 slices)
  • Cooking spray
  • Salt and pepper, if desired
  • 1 French baguette, uncut (cut into four 8-inch portions or four 8-inch oblong crusty bread rolls)
  • 1 to 2 cups baby arugula
  • SAUCE
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods Mayonnaise)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce, sriracha (optional if you like it spicy)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray a large baking sheet.

  • Step 2: Lay onion slices and bell pepper slices on the baking sheet and spray with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.

  • Step 3: Prick sausages with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15-30 minutes (Depending on how thick you sliced the veggies). Stir and turn veggies and sausages about half way through, so they don't burn on the bottom. *You may have to adjust the timing of your sausages depending on what the package says.

  • Step 4: Puree sauce ingredients together. I used an immersion blender in a pyrex measuring cup. A mini food processor would work too.

  • Step 5: Cut a wedge (making a V large enough for the sausage and veggies to fit in) out of each bread roll and spread the interior with basil sauce. You can spread the cut out wedge with sauce too or you can discard it.

  • Step 6: Lay Swiss cheese slices over the sauce.

  • Step 7: Place prepared bread rolls onto a second baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to your liking.

  • Step 8: Remove from oven and place sausage into prepared bread rolls, cover with onions and peppers and top with arugula.

  • Step 9: If you saved the cut out bread wedges you can eat them on the side.
