: Print Recipe

Celebrate Opening Day at home with this Fenway-inspired ballpark favorite—honoring the spirit of Red Sox Nation with sweet sausage, peppers, onions, and that signature stadium flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 sweet Italian sausages (high-quality butcher sausages preferred)
• 2 bell peppers, sliced (red and green for authentic Fenway style)
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Meat Church Gourmet Series Garlic & Herb Seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 crusty Italian rolls or sub buns
• Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill (Weber Kettle recommended) to medium heat.
2. Grill sausages, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 12–15 minutes or until internal temp hits 160°F.
3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced peppers and onions. Sauté until softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
4. Add minced garlic, Meat Church Garlic & Herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes more until fragrant.
5. Lightly toast buns on the grill until crisp.
6. Assemble: Place grilled sausage in each bun, top generously with peppers and onions, and finish with a hearty squeeze of Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard.

Chef Paddy’s Tips

• Use Sweet Italian Sausage: The grill adds that snap and smoky layer you want for authentic Fenway flavor.
• Slice After the Sear: Grill whole first, slice after for a juicy street-food finish.
• Peppers in Color, Onions in Volume: Go heavy on the onions and let them caramelize—balance matters.
• Add a Beer Bath: Simmer grilled peppers and onions in a splash of lager or amber ale for real ballpark aroma.
• Toast That Roll: Lightly crisp the bun—structure matters for a loaded sausage.
• Don’t Drown It: Let the sausage shine. A good mustard or giardiniera on the side is all you need.
