Sausage & California Cheese Subs

Prep time: 12 minutes

Cook time: 12 minutes

Cut onion half into 6 wedges, each with a piece of root holding it together. In a large bowl, combine onion, bell peppers, oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Prepare a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grate.

Grill onion and peppers until tender and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill sausages until heated through and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill rolls, cut side down, until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

As onion and peppers come off the grill, return to mixing bowl and set aside until cool enough to handle. As rolls come off the grill, top with cheese and sausages, then cover loosely to keep warm and slightly melt cheese.

Cut root ends from onion. Cut peppers into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange onion and peppers on top of sausages, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.

Serves 6.
