Quick 'n Easy Sausage on a Bun

from Kraft Recipes

4 servings

• 4 Italian sausage links (1 lb.) -- I used hot Italian turkey sausage
• 1 each red and green pepper, cut into wedges
• 1 onion, sliced, separated into rings
• 1/4 cup light Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
• 1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 4 Italian bread rolls, partially split, toasted-- I used whole-wheat hoagie buns
• 3/4 cup light Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

HEAT large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add sausages; cook 12 min. or until done (160ºF), turning after 6 min. Remove sausages from skillet; cover. Discard drippings from skillet.

ADD peppers, onions and dressing to skillet; cook and stir 5 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to boil; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.

CUT sausages lengthwise in half, being careful to not cut all the way through to bottom of each. Open sausages; place, cut-sides down, on bottom halves of rolls. Cover with pepper mixture, cheese and tops of rolls.

My Review: Simon thought he had died and gone to heaven! This is the ultimate boy-friendly meal. The sausages and veggies were absolutely delicious - spicy and flavorful. It took me a lot longer than 12 minutes to cook the sausage -- maybe my oven wasn't high enough. I used the leftovers to make a homemade pizza the next day -- that was yummy too!
