You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to fix these tasty sandwiches. Fully cooked sausages are placed in buns with cheese and topped with giardiniera, then wrapped in foil so they’re easy to transport and a breeze to grill. —Matthew Hass, Ellison Bay, Wisconsin

Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup giardiniera, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 4 cooked Italian sausage links
  • Additional giardiniera, optional

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine giardiniera and sugar; set aside.
  2. Place cheese in buns; top with sausages and giardiniera mixture. Wrap individually in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12x10 in.).
