Open Faced Italian Dogs

Preheat oven to 400F.

Cover a cookie sheet with foil and cover lightly with non-stick spray.

Place sausages on foil and bake for 15 minutes, turn and bake another 10-15 more minutes.

While sausages are baking, melt butter in large fry pan.

Split buns and brush them quickly through the melted butter.

Place, buttered side up, on a cookie sheet.

Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Set aside.

Saute onions & peppers in remaining butter over medium high heat until edges start to brown but are still 'crisp tender'.

Empty pizza sauce over onions & peppers.

Put 1/3 cup water in jar and shake.

Pour into pan.

Stir and reduce heat.

Gently simmer until buns are done.

After sausages are done, toast buns in oven.

This only takes a minute or two...keep a close eye on them.

When buns are ready, place on plate.

Split sausages lengthwise and place on bun.

Top with sauce, onions & peppers.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Enjoy!

Options are mushrooms, sliced olives, ect.

Go wild...It will be awesome!
