Steeler's Sideline Sausage
...from Firefighter and Tailgater Bob F.

This is an old firehouse recipe that has been converted into a >tailgating favorite for Steeler fans! I have been a firefighter for 17 years, and I haven't found a person that dislikes it yet.

 6 packages of Italian sausage (8 links per pack)
 6 large sweet onions
 4 green peppers
 3 red peppers (they are a bit sweeter than greens)
 paprika
 garlic powder
 crushed red pepper
 2 large jars of Ragu Traditional Sauce

In an iron skillet, prepare your sausage (takes about 4 #10 skillets).

While cooking sausage, 1/2 and slice your peppers and onions, set aside. When sausage is finished, SAVE THE GREASE!! Place sausage and sauce in electric roaster at 250-275 degrees. Cook down peppers and onions in grease, add approximately 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper to each pan and mix thoroughly. Liberally sprinkle paprika over peppers and onions, mix. This will give the veggies a nice orangish-red color as they cook down. Add veggies and grease mixture to roaster and mix with sausage and sauce.

Serve out of the roaster onto sausage rolls and enjoy!!
