This recipe appeared in the January 29, 2006, Post-Gazette Food Section - Pittsburgh Super Bowl Recipes - and ran in the Seattle papers. What Pittsburgh Eats is Sausage - stacked with peppers, onions and sauce, on a great Mancini's Italian sausage bun. When the sauce starts to drip down your chin, the bun can work as a sponge so you don't lose a drop! The amounts of the sausage and spices can be adjusted to suit individual taste.

1 large red bell pepper, sliced
