Smoked Sausage and Peppers Sandwich

These might seem like your typical sausage and pepper sammies, but they have a nice BBQ sauce twist to them. Really outstanding eats!


I was thinking I'd eat mine like a sandwich as in the original recipe, but it fell apart on me. Next time, I'll serve it open-faced, and put toppings on both halves!
