Chopped cheese meets sausage and peppers on NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW
Steven Cusato adds broccoli rabe and homemade bomba to a San Gennaro-inspired sandwich designed for more balanced bites.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
This Famous Technique Unlocks The Sausage and Pepper Sandwich
Steven Cusato has a practical objection to the classic sausage-and-pepper sandwich: the ingredients don't always arrive together in the same bite. His only new upload of the week, "This Famous Technique Unlocks The Sausage and Pepper Sandwich," borrows the chopped cheese approach to solve that problem.
Instead of sliced peppers and onions, he uses diced vegetables, chops the sausage directly on the griddle and melts provolone into the meat. Broccoli rabe joins the filling, with a homemade bomba of roasted garlic, cherry peppers and Calabrian chili to finish. The video is sponsored.
The sandwich has reached about 155,000 views. In the comments, viewers are making the chopped-cheese connection themselves, while one longtime sausage-and-peppers eater recognizes the problem with proportions. Others focus on the broccoli rabe or see a new project for their backyard griddle. That's a particularly fitting response for a channel that calls its cooking style "Modern Grandma": familiar food, with a method worth borrowing.
The new sandwich is also among the channel's most active videos, though two older uploads are drawing more daily views. "The World's Most Popular Cocktail #olesmoky" has the largest daily audience of the three, followed by "This Chicken Lo Mein is a Take-Out Killer."
The lo mein lesson offers another version of Cusato's technique-first approach: velvet the chicken, prepare the stir-fry ingredients before cooking and use high heat so the sauce clings to the noodles rather than pooling beneath them.

This is an amazing idea! Chopped cheese meets Italian sausage and peppers!
@5024jdrSee it on YouTubeThat looks epic. Great idea. I have been eating sausage and peppers my whole life but always thought the ratios were off too.
@josephkordinak1591See it on YouTubeOther than the greenery, this is incredibly close to a regional sandwich in my part of the country that's confusingly named a Stromboli.

@curtisdunn1561See it on YouTubeThanks man I needed something new to cook on my blackstone. Smash burgers are awesome, breakfast is always a hit - but THIS… this will be my next backyard griddle adventure. You seriously have not posted one single disappointing video in all of these years bro. I’ve been watching you since the early days. Probably about 30 of your recipes in my rotation lmao.
