My Sausage Sandwich Recipe

"We live in South Jersey, close by to Hammonton, which has a great Italian grocery store. They make numerous types of homemade sausage and one of my favorites is a chicken sausage with feta, garlic and spinach. Delicious! However, this recipe is all about the sandwich, you can use any type of non-breakfast type sausage. My one daughter likes hot Italian sausage and the other one loves mild. This recipe works for all three kinds plus others. Also my DH likes spaghetti sauce on his sandwich and I like mine without."
