Sweet and Hot Italian Sausage and Peppers

It's football season in our house, that's a big deal come the Fall.  Ever since my boys were 5 & 6 years old they have always played on a football team all the way through high school.  When the big games came on TV on Sunday, it was always a snack night for dinner because they didn't want to leave and sit at the dinner table.  I would put together a spread of finger foods they could eat.  Now that they are adults, and still sit in front of the TV, I make man size foods for them.  Sausage and Peppers is one of their favorites.  This is how I make it.

Red, yellow, green peppers and onions. Seed them and slice them down.  Peel the onions, cut in half and slice down.  Peel 3 cloves of garlic and mince.  Saute the garlic in 3 Tbsp. of olive oil.  Add the peppers, onions, salt and pepper.
Sweat the peppers and onions out.  In the meantime brown the sausages in a frying pan.  I use hot and sweet sausages.  When they are partially cooked put them on top of the peppers and onions and put a lid on them.  Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.
Another of their favorites is Jack Daniels Pulled Pork on a crusty kaiser roll. All you have to do is warm it up!  The sauce is sweet and tangy and when it's hot, it makes the roll so soft and delicious.
