Spicy Cracked Black Pepper Brats

1 (19.76 ounce) package Johnsonville Fresh
    Original Bratwurst Links
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch round slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium sweet green bell pepper
1 medium sweet red bell pepper
1 medium sweet yellow bell pepper
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
5 hoagie rolls, split

Grill brats according to package directions.

Brush onion slices with oil and grill over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes per side or until crisp-tender and golden.

Cut onion slices in half; place in a large bowl.

Grill whole peppers until skins blister, about 3 to 4 minutes, using tongs to rotate peppers until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place peppers in a bowl and cover or cool 30 seconds. Place peppers in a large resealable plastic bag and seal; let stand 10 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove seeds. Slice peppers into 1/4-inch strips; place in bowl with onions. Add cracked pepper; toss gently.

Place 1 brat in each roll. Top with pepper and onion mixture. Serve hot.

Makes 5 servings.
