Sausage and Pepper Sloppy Joes

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add the chopped kielbasa and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and crispy. Push it to one side of the griddle.

3. 3

   Add the ground pork to the same griddle. Cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns, until fully cooked. Combine the kielbasa and pork.

4. 4

   Add the diced bell peppers (red, green, orange) and the diced onion to the meat mixture. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

5. 5

   Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Pour in ½ cup of Dr Pepper and let it sizzle. Add 2 tablespoons of mustard and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

6. 6

   Divide the mixture into 4 portions on the griddle. Top each with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese and allow it to melt.

7. 7

   While the cheese melts, toast the hoagie rolls cut-side down on the griddle for about 1 minute until golden brown.

8. 8

   Place each toasted hoagie roll on top of the cheesy meat mixture. Using a spatula, scoop the mixture onto the roll, flipping it over to assemble.

9. 9

   Serve immediately, garnishing with extra pickled jalapeños and parsley if desired.
