A delicious twist on a classic sandwich, Philly Cheese Sausage Dog Recipe is packed with flavor and comes together in about 30 minutes! This recipe is great for weekly family meals. They’ll also be a hit at your next tailgate or cookout!

We like these sandwiches with Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potato Wedges.

A classic Philly Cheesesteak has thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, and fried onions in a hoagie roll. I used bratwurst, red peppers, onions, cheese sauce, and hoagie rolls. Mine has all the familiar ingredients of the classic sandwich but with a bratwurst. However, you can use any sausage that you like.

We love these because they’re loaded with flavor. They’re also very easy to make!

PHILLY CHEESE SAUSAGE DOG

First, I like that you can grill this or cook it on the stovetop. I made mine in a skillet.
It’s also easily customizable. I used bratwurst for my sandwich, but you can really use any sausage.
Feel free to change the peppers, I don’t like green peppers but if you do, by all means, pile them on.
If you’re cooking on a grill, you can cook the onions and peppers in a skillet and cover with foil or you can wrap them in foil packs.
If you don’t want to make the homemade cheese sauce, you can use Cheese Whiz or processed cheese melted with a little milk then stir it until it smooth.

Ingredients

6 bratwurst in casings or casings removed and crumbled
2 medium bell peppers any color, julienned
1 medium white onion can use Vidalia, sliced
6 medium hoagie rolls or hotdog buns
1 tablespoon oil for cooking sausage

CHEESE SAUCE

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 cup whole milk
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Heat a large skillet on medium-low. Add oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, add sausage. Cook the sausage on the stove for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn to brown all sides.
Add the pepper and onion slices and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness. (Check the center of the sausage links to make sure they're cooked through.)
Toast hoagie rolls if desired.

CHEESE SAUCE

Melt 2 T butter in a saucepan. Whisk in 2 T self-rising flour. Cook for 2 minutes. Do not let brown. Pour 1 cup of milk and whisk until smooth.
Bring to a low boil, then reduce and simmer until thick. (You'll need to stir it and make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.) Add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove the pan from the heat source.

ASSEMBLE SANDWICH

Place sausages in buns and top each with peppers. Spoon over the cheese sauce and serve.
