Sausage and Pepper Heroes
Ingredients
Olive oil
6 spicy sausages
2 bell peppers, sliced
2 onions, sliced

In the meantime, place veggies on grill and cook until soft and slightly charred. If you’re using a griddle, sauté veggies until cooked down.
Toast buns and set aside.
Season veggies with salt and pepper and portion into 6 servings. Place each serving into a hot dog bun and add a sausage to each bun. Serve with mustard if desired.
