Traditional Sausage and Peppers – Love it…! It seems like every time we had a party growing up sausage and peppers were always there. In fact even football games… or festivals…. yup! Sausage and Peppers. Hope you enjoy this wonderful video from Italian Grandma’ Gina (In her adorable broken English)

Sausage and peppers is a dish in Italian-American cuisine prepared using Italian sausage and peppers (such as bell peppers) as primary ingredients. It is served as a dish on its own, sometimes with the use of additional ingredients such as tomato sauce, onions and pasta, and is sometimes served in the form of a sandwich. Some Italian delicatessens in the United States prepare and serve sausage and peppers, and it is a common dish at the Feast of San Gennaro, Italian street festivals, feasts and events in the United States.

In the United States, sausage and pepper sandwiches are widely popular. One variety, colloquially known as a hot dog, is particularly popular, especially at sporting events, carnivals, beaches, and fairs. They are also sold in many delis as well as food stands on street corners of large cities. Many American hot dog vendors also serve Polish, Italian, Mexican, and German  sausage sandwiches in addition to their regular fare.

Sausage sandwiches that come on toast, a bagel, an English muffin, a biscuit, or kaiser roll are generally referred to as breakfast sandwiches.
