Ingredients: 1 pkg. Hillshire Farm Italian Style Smoked Sausage 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips 1 large onion, halved and cut into ” slices 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced cup marinara sauce 4 slices provolone cheese 2 cups fresh baby spinach 4 French bread rolls, split, buttered
Directions: Cut each sausage into 4 equal lengths, then cut each section lengthwise, but not all the way through, so sausage lies flat. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Cook sausages 4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Add oil to skillet and heat until hot. Add pepper, onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Lay sausage on top of pepper mixture; pour marinara sauce over each sausage and top with a slice of cheese. Arrange spinach over contents of skillet; cover and cook 2-4 minutes or until spinach wilts slightly. Divide spinach among rolls; top with sausage, peppers and onions.
Cook’s Tip: Remove a small portion of bread from the cut sides of each roll to allow more room for the sausage and filling.
