Remove from the griddle and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and the peppers and onions. Season the peppers and onions and cook until just tender, 5 minutes. Remove them from the griddle. Wipe the griddle clean and reduce heat to medium low. Assemble sandwiches: place 4 slices of bread down, top with 1/4 each of the peppers onions, then a slice of cheese, a cooked sausage patty, another slice of cheese and then place bread on top. Add butter to griddle and cook sammy melts 2 or 3 minutes on each side until golden and cheese is melted. Press with spatula as sammies cook or set another heavy skillet on sammies to weigh them down.

I offered my daughter tomato soup one afternoon and then realized I did not have any on hand. I made a homeade version by accident that was so easy and is now one of her favorites. All I did was take a couple of cans of diced cut tomatoes with sweet onions and put it in the blender. I put that in a pot over the stove and heated. I then added milk to achieve her creamy preference. (You could add chicken broth or water if you wanted to dillute it more) She loved it and its obviously simplicity was a hit with me!
