Fire-Roasted Tomato and Italian Sausage Grinders
Ingredients
  • 10 uncooked hot or sweet Italian sausage links (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
  • 2 14 1/2ounce cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon  balsamic vinegar
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons  dried basil, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon  dried oregano, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • 10 French-style rolls or hoagie buns, split
  • 10 slices provolone cheese, halved
  • 3/4 cup  roasted red sweet peppers, drained and cut into thin strips
Directions

1. Place sausage links in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. For sauce, stir in undrained diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.

3. To serve, preheat broiler. Place the sausage links on roll bottoms, reserving sauce in cooker. Place a half-slice of cheese on top of each sausage link and a half-slice of cheese on the cut side of each roll top. Place roll bottoms with sausage on a baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
