This is exactly how I make mine for use on buns and Italian bread. For another way to use them, I slice the sausages and add tomato sauce to this dish and serve it over pasta! Thanks for posting! Happy to see someone does it the way I do!

Yes. 100%. I slice my sausage up at the end and add back to the peppers and onions but this is the best technique I've tried so far. Great video. These come out better than my Italian grandmothers. (Although she had an Italian deli nearby that made excellent sausage, still looking for somewhere local or online to get mine)

This has been my go to recipe for a couple of years now and I looked at many. Probably have this 2-3x a month. Wonderful.

A trick my family always used was to put the peppers in the bottom of the bun and the sausage on top. Doesn't look as it pretty but sure is easier and neater to eat.

That's actually why I avoid sandwiches like this even thought they look so good. I just don't want to wear it.

Your large, high-sided braising pan is just marvelous. I like the fact that they haven't got a long handle to get in the way and possibly catch on something.

This came out AMAZING thank you Mel, yes you definitely CAN cook!!

She is right about poking holes in the Sausages when grilling etc as it will make them dry as dirt , So tongs are the way to go etc.

In south Philly we “Scoop” one side of the rollfill it with a small amount of peppers & onions then the sausage & a small amount of gravy (Sauce)

Great video! Very well explained and easy to follow. Thank you so much.

Wow! David you made my day! Thank-you! We love it here in Centre County. My husband came here in 1968, I came in 1974, and, we never left -- have never even entertained the thought of leaving. Our three boys were born and raised here too. On a humorous note: I designed my kitchen, and, when we were building our dream home, my husband told me, "make sure you put every thing in the kitchen you want because it is the last kitchen you're ever going to get!" So I did.

Best sausage and peppers recipe I have ever seen!! I am going to cook this tomorrow. I have never tried the simmering of the sausages before. I am sure it makes a difference. Thanks. You can tell when someone is a REAL cook! Looks great.

I think Italian foods like pizza and sausage and peppers etc bring out the passion in people. I think each person believes their way is the best way. The pizza shop one grows up with is the one people defend with gusto. New York vs New Jersey. Another good example: Pat's vs Geno's!!! Passionate people on both sides. Thank you for posting!

As it goes with many things, it cost more, but, the turned banisters (four of them) are the perfect ending at all locations.

Lovely recipe and instructions ma'am. I'd like to add one little note to anyone trying this for the first time: after 3 - 4 mins of boiling the sausages, mind the curling and rearrange them so they lay flat, then continue the boiling process. Otherwise the sausages might not cook evenly. Have a nice day (:

Actually the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council also recommends a "parboiling" of fresh sausages to ensure full, safe cooking - or doing low & slow & very evenly over a grill. I think with all the issues surrounding food safety, this is a great way of making sure everyone stays healthy while enjoying fresh sausages. I was unsure about the butter along with the oil, but I can see the rationale because it will help get a nice brown color (& good flavor). I will try your recipe! Thank you!!

To all the meanies, trolls and bullies who spew criticisms without having tried this method of cooking first, please stop. Once upon a time, man put raw meat on a stick, held it over a fire and thought it tasted good. It did. It was -- better than raw meat. We have evolved. Italy didn't invent food. They didn't even invent sausage. They didn't invent sausage cooking either. My intention is not to insult your heritage, simply to teach a method -- that works. It might not be what your people do or did, but, that is neither here nor there. Granted, I wish the bread would have been a better quality that day. That said, it was what was provided to me for the TV show. I'm just here to share and teach. Stop slinging arrows for slinging sake -- your ignorance is showing, and, it is unbecoming of your beloved heritage.. Love to all. ~ Mel.

Simmer first and brown is on the money. Absolutely! I cook onions, chopped garlic, oregano and peppers in a microwave with EVOO and butter for 6 minutes, then add to pan juice for further cooking . I use 2 different varieties of onion. And two different colors of peppers . Nice video.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Mel, you left me wanting to have one of those sandwiches, they look delicious and the vegetables looked out of this world. I'm just a little thrown by your cooking method, though I'm no chef. Not wanting to murder my Italian sausage any longer I asked the folks at my local Italian deli about cooking it. They said cook in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes, and definitely no simmering in water. I'm going to have to try your method to the letter, though. Thanks for posting this vid.
