vegetarian grinder

This sandwich is one of the best things I've had in a long time! And yes she's meatless. I made this sandwich with field roast sausage, cheddar cheese, roasted bell pepper, lettuce, red onion, banana peppers and a mayo-based dressing.

There's nothing more satisfying and satiating than a protein-rich sandwich full of veggies.
