I've been making this sweet and spicy sandwich filling for 35 years. It smells as good as it tastes! It's a great reward for a hungry family after a day working or playing outdoors. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean) |
1-1/2 pounds johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage |
2 large onions, sliced |
2 large green peppers, sliced |
2 large sweet red peppers, sliced |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
8 sandwich rolls, split |
shredded monterey jack cheese, optional |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Place a third of the onions and peppers in a 5-qt. slow cooker; top with half of the meat mixture. Repeat layers; top with remaining vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and pepper flakes.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until vegetables are tender. With a slotted spoon, serve about 1 cup of meat and vegetables on each roll. Top with cheese if desired. Use pan juices for dipping if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
