Steeler's Sideline Sausage Sandwiches

This is an old firehouse recipe that has been converted into a tailgating favorite for Steeler fans!

6 packages of Italian sausage (8 links per pack)
6 large sweet onions
4 green peppers
3 red peppers (they are a bit sweeter than greens)
paprika
garlic powder
crushed red pepper
2 large jars of Ragu Traditional Sauce

In an iron skillet, prepare your sausage (takes about 4 #10 skillets).

While cooking sausage, 1/2 and slice your peppers and onions, set aside. When sausage is finished, SAVE THE GREASE!! Place sausage and sauce in electric roaster at 250-275 degrees. Cook down peppers and onions in grease, add approximately 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper to each pan and mix thoroughly. Liberally sprinkle paprika over peppers and onions, mix. This will give the veggies a nice orangish-red color as they cook down. Add veggies and grease mixture to roaster and mix with sausage and sauce.

Serve out of the roaster onto sausage rolls and enjoy!!
