These
hearty sandwich rolls are loaded with savory Italian flavors, along with gooey,
cheesy texture on the inside and crunchy, toasted bread on the outside. It all
combines for a delicious, garlicky, wonderfully messy casual dinner for two—or slice the rolls into 4 pieces each to
make 8 appetizers.

with salt and pepper and grill, turning several times, until cooked through and
slightly charred on all sides, 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Add the
sausages to the marinara and turn several times to coat. Place 1 sausage in the
bottom half of each toasted roll and divide the marinara on top. Divide the
cheese and place on top of the rolls.
