Sausage and Peppers Sloppy Joes
Sausage and Peppers Sloppy Joes combine ground pork, fennel seeds, and a trio of bell peppers simmered in a tomato-based sauce with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. The mixture is spooned onto brioche buns and topped with provolone cheese, yielding a savory sandwich with sweet and tangy notes, and a tender, saucy texture. The fennel seeds add a distinct aromatic flavor that complements the pork and peppers.
