Cook 7-10 minutes longer, turning tomatoes, sausage and onion 1 more time or until peppers are charred, onion is tender and sausages brown and reach an internal temp of 155.
Trasnfer peppers to sheet of alum foil and wrap tightly; set aside to allow peppers to steam. Place bread, cut sides down on grill and cook 2-3 minutes or until toasted.
