Our modern take on the sloppy joe! Start with crusty bread, then pile on the hot Italian sausage and rapini mixture, and top each sandwich with mozzarella.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 canned artichoke hearts , drained and finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes
- 3 hot Italian sausages , casings removed
- 1 bunch rapini , trimmed and chopped
- 4 crusty buns
- 4 slices mozzarella , about 1/4-in. thick
- banana peppers , for garnish
Instructions
- Position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat broiler.
- Stir mayo with artichokes and chili flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Crumble sausage into pan. Cook until browned, about 5 min. Add rapini, stirring in more as it wilts, 5 to 7 min.
- Slice buns in half. Place bottom halves on a baking sheet and spread each with 1 tbsp mayo mixture. Divide sausage mixture among bottom buns, then top each with a cheese slice. Broil until cheese melts, 1 to 2 min. Top with banana pepper. Spread top bun halves with remaining mayo mixture and place over each sausage and rapini melt. Serve hot.
