Smith’s Chef Jeff Jackson’s recipe for Italian Grinder Sandwiches

Smith’s Chef Jeff Jackson joined KSL TV on Tuesday to share his recipe for Italian Grinder Sandwiches.

Ingredients

½ onion, minced

½ red bell pepper, minced

2 tbsp. garlic, minced

1 lb. ground beef

1 lb. sweet Italian sausage

1 tsp. kosher salt + ½ tsp. pepper

14 oz. bottle pizza sauce

1 lb. mozzarella, grated

6 hoagie buns

oil as needed

chopped parsley to garnish

Directions

Add a bit of oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Add in the beef and sausage and crumble the meat as it begins to brown. Add in the onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt and pepper.

Cook until all the meat is browned and the veggies are tender. Drain off any excess fat in the pan. Heat your oven to 425. Split the hoagie buns not going all the way through so the bun stays in one piece. Line a sheet pan wit
