This loaded sandwich is basically a pizza party between two slices of buttery garlic sourdough — crispy bacon, spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, and melted mozzarella all brought together with vodka sauce and a tangy pepperoncini ranch.
✨ AI Summary Step-by-Step Cooking Guide Print Share Ingredients 8 slices Garlic Herb Butter Sourdough Bread 12 slices Pepperoni 1 lb Hot Italian Sausage, removed from casings 2 cups shredded Mozzarella Cheese 1 cup Vodka Sauce 1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced 1 large Tomato, sliced 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning 8 slices Bacon, cooked crispy 1/2 cup Homemade Ranch blended with 2 tablespoons chopped Pepperoncini Directions 1 Cook the bacon until crispy, then set aside. In the same skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease. 2 In a small bowl, blend the ranch dressing with chopped pepperoncini and set aside. Warm the vodka sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. 3 Butter one side of each bread slice with any extra garlic herb butter if needed. On the unbuttered side of 4 slices, layer the pepperoni, cooked sausage, bacon, red onion, and tomato slices. Sprinkle with garlic salt and Italian seasoning. 4 Drizzle vodka sauce over the fillings, then top generously with mozzarella cheese. Place sandwiches (open-faced) under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. 5 Remove from broiler, drizzle with pepperoncini ranch, and top with remaining bread slices (buttered side out). Press gently and serve immediately.
