Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 1 lb beef sausage links (Andouille or smoked preferred)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Sandwich
- 4 hoagie or sub rolls, split and toasted
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Creole mustard (or Dijon)
- Optional: hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced green and red bell peppers along with the sliced yellow onion. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Season the mixture: Stir in the Cajun seasoning and garlic powder to the sautéed vegetables. Return the browned sausage to the skillet and toss everything together to combine the flavors thoroughly.
- Prepare the sandwich spread: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Creole mustard until smooth. Optionally, add hot sauce to your preferred level of heat here or on the sandwich later.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mayo and mustard mixture evenly onto each toasted hoagie roll. Fill each roll generously with the sausage and pepper mixture.
- Serve: Drizzle additional hot sauce if desired and serve the sandwiches warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Add sliced provolone or pepper jack cheese for a melty variation.
- For a lighter version, substitute beef sausage with chicken sausage and use light mayo.
