Charlie's Italian Sausage Sandwich image

Mustard is unbelievably wonderful for this sandwich, a must try! This is a definite comfort food! It is and can also be made using deep fried hot dogs as well. As a kid growing up in NJ, I (Bird) ate these all the often. This is my version that I make at home, as we live just a wee too far a drive to Charlie's in Kenilworth NJ. The original Charlie's uses pizza dough for the crust, so if you'de like, we recommend using Recipe #265466, baking it as a 2 round loaves which will give you 4 sandwiches.

The sandwich was good, but the bread was a bit too hard for my liking.

This sandwich was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Italian sausage sandwich he's ever had.
