  • 2
    14 1/2 ounce 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.

4. To serve, add roasted peppers and roll tops. Serve reserved sauce in individual serving bowls for dipping.

These were really delicious. I cut the sausages up into pieces before cooking to make it easier to serve to a group. These got rave reviews and I will definitely be making them again!
