This was great, very enjoyable. I thought the black olives were a little out of place. But since this was Italian sausage, and not bratwurst, they seemed to add to the flavor quite well. One note: I used rather large bell peppers and had quite a bit of those leftover after just four buns and sausages. One of each probably would have been sufficient.
