Total Time Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield 8 servings

My version of sloppy joes comes from an old family recipe. Make these sandwiches even more German by stacking everything on a pretzel bun. —Jason Koren, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
1-1/2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
2 medium green and/or sweet yellow peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
8 pretzel or regular hamburger buns, split
8 slices provolone cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Add sauerkraut, peppers and onion; cook and stir 8-10 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender.
Spoon meat mixture onto bun bottoms; place cheese over meat. Replace tops. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
