Sausage Sandwiches Dave’s Way

Sausage Sandwiches are one of our family’s favorite sausage meals. We always make them after we grind a new batch of sausage. It’s quick and easy, but most of all delicious! We will make them out of all the different flavors, and usually as we start to sell out of flavors we use what we have the most of.  However, we are slightly divided in what flavor is everyone’s favorite, half like the Sweet the other half Mama Mia. We can’t wait for you to try the recipe, and tell us what your favorite is???

Sausage Sandwiches Dave’s Way

What you need…

  • 4 – 8 Hard Rolls (Your choice)
  • 1 ½ lbs of Dave’s Gourmet Sausage (Flavor of your choice) (Our favorites are Sweet and Mama Mia)
  • 2 Orange Bell Peppers
  • 2 Yellow Bell Peppers
  • 2 Medium – Large Purple Onions
  • ½ Cup of Olive Oil

Step One:

Slice peppers and onions into long strips. Then set aside

Take linked sausage and separate into individual links. Pinch in the middle of the link to squeeze out sausage. Form sausage into patties the same shape as your rolls. (Creates 4-6 Patties)

Step Two:

Get out 2 large frying pans, one for the veggies (cast iron optional) and the other for the sausage.  In the pan for the veggies add ½ cup of olive oil and heat approximately 3 minutes on Medium High. Add all the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally. Cook peppers and onions until soft, veggies will be done, and turn off heat. In second pan place your sausage patties, then add about ¼ inch of water. Heat to Medium High, flip patties occasionally until water has evaporated, then brown patties on both sides. Once browned meat is done, and  then turn off heat.

Step Three:

Toast rolls in oven at 350 for about 5 minutes (optional).  On one side of the roll, put a big scoop of peppers and onions including some olive oil, then place sausage patty on top of peppers and onions. Add another scoop of peppers and onions on top of patty, and cover with other side of roll. This insures olive oil on both sides of the roll. Now ready to Enjoy!

Serves 4 people.

Optional Sides – Green salad, potato salad, or your favorite side dish!

BBQ Traditions

Spring is in the air. The days are longer, and it’s starting to get warmer here on the Central Coast. The kid’s are itching for summer vacation, and parents are starting to plan activities, trips to the lake, camping, and BBQs. Once the activities are planned, next on the list is food! That means sausage! Along with the steaks, instead of just a plain hot dor hamburger, as an appetizer, or as the main meal. Our family loves to snack on BBQ sausage as we wait for the steaks to be done, and have it as part of the main meal. When the kids were young they loved sausage dogs with all the fixings. They taste better and are healthier! The kids loved the Sweet Italian or the Cheese, and the adults the Medium, Hot, or the brave ones Mama Mia.
