Sheet Pan Italian Sausage Sandwiches

So, how are you all doing? I seem to be on edge lately Anxious, scared, concerned, one moment, and then hopeful, and forward looking the next moment. Normally, I would say perimenopause but right now I blame the election, covid-19, and school being a concerning area for us. Since my son has been quarantined they have doubled the amount of people quarantining. He is to go back to school on Friday so we will see.

In addition to lots of comfort food we want easy meals. How much easier can a sheet pan meal be? Place it all on the pan drizzle with oil, salt and black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and bake for another 20 minutes. I make a bit of balsamic reduction to put over the top of the sandwich too.

Verdict: These sandwiches are simple and yummy! My kids love vinegar and I make a simple balsamic reduction to add more balsamic flavor to the sandwiches. If you want to change the cheese or rolls go ahead! Make it how you will like it.

I serve these with a simple side salad to complete the meal.

This is a nice recipe, Marci. C-19 stress and anxiety is real and I have had issues lately too. There are a lot of people getting sick. Hang in there. Everything passes.
