Here is how you make Cajun Fire Roasted Peppers and Sausage:

Mince garlic and add to Olive Oil. Set aside while preparing the rest of the dish.Pre-heat the oven to 300 F. Slice Sausage into 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick diagonal slices. Fry in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside.Chop Fresh basil into rough leaves; 1' by 1' pieces will do fine.Drain the Fire Roasted Red Peppers. Remove any seeds that may still exist. Slice into large chunks, about 1.5 inch thick, and the full length of the pepper. Slice the cheese into somewhat thick slices (1/8 - 1/4 inch should be fine). Drizzle the Olive Oil and garlic mixture into the bottom of a 9' by 13' baking pan. Lay the sliced cheese over top. Spread out the Peppers evenly over the cheese. Place the cooked Sausage over the cheese. Evenly place the basil over entire dish.Cook for 10-15 minutes or until edges of cheese just start browning.Serves: 8------------------------------------------------Additional notes:I used Son of Italy brand peppers, Healthy Ones smoked sausage. For the cheese, any smoked flavor will do, however the harder the cheese, the easier it will be to serve (soft cheese melts too completely to be able to serve easily with a spatula). I typically serve over a serving of Vigo Red Beans and Rice (low fat) to complete the "Cajun" vibe of the dish.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JLEIZEAR.
