This sausage and pepper patty melt is so delicious and easy to make, too. I used to make sausage and pepper sandwiches and it would take me forever. Those sausage links are so good but can really take a while to cook. Not to mentions that once they’re sliced it’s super hard to eat the actual sandwich. They’re slipping and sliding all over the place and everything is falling apart.
It can be a complete sloppy mess. Once I switched from sausage links to patties my whole sandwich game changed. Why the heck didn’t I think of this earlier? This small switch make the biggest difference. This way is much easier to eat and takes much less time to prepare, too. This dinner recipe is a winner!

How To Make It
Heres how to make this awesome sausage sandwich. You can find the full ingredients list long with instructions on the recipe card below.
First, in a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the peppers and onions. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are soft and all the salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add the tomato sauce and stir it into the sausage and peppers. Set the peppers and onions in the sauce aside and keep them warm.
Now add the sausage patties to a skillet over medium high heat and brown them on both sides until they’re cooked completely through. This should take about 4 minutes on each side. Then add a slice of mozzarella cheese to the top of each sausage patty.
Then cut the roll in half horizontally and add some of the peppers and onions. Top it with the sausage patty with cheese. Sprinkle with parsley, close the sandwich with the top roll and enjoy!
Storage
Let the sausage patties cool completely and place them into a food safe air tight container. They will last in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Sausage and Pepper Patty Melt Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 Kaiser Rolls
- 4 Sausage Patties
- 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 large Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ cup Tomato Sauce
- Dried Basil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the ½ of the olive oil over medium high heat and add the sliced peppers and onions. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Now add the tomato sauce and stir everything together. Set it aside and keep it warm.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat add the rest of the olive oil and the sausage patties. Brown them on both sides until they're cooked all the way through.
- Then add a slice of mozzarella cheese to the top of each patty. I like to melt the cheese by carefully adding a little bit of water to the hot skillet and placing a lid on top. The steam will melt the cheese perfectly. I like to add a little dried basil but that's optional.
- Now slice open the rolls and evenly distribute the peppers and onions on the bottom of each roll. Top with the sausage patty and cheese and close the sandwich with the top of the roll.
- Serve warm and enjoy
