I’m a member of the Sausage Sandwich Lovers Club. Well, I would be if there was such a club. Now normally, that means a grilled brat or kielbasa smothered in a red sauce with plenty of vegetables and cheese. Like my Italian version. These slow cooker Creole sausage sandwiches are a fantastic twist on what I normally make. Very simple flavors that come together over time with just the right ‘bite’. The sausages themselves are crazy good just as they are. Heck, I could eat them without putting them on a sandwich to be truthful.

For me, mayonnaise is an absolute must on these slow cooker Creole sausage sandwiches. You want something creamy, something smooth. It might sound a little weird but for me, mayonnaise is the way to go. Now, if you’re in the mood for a spicier version, just substitute a hot sausage for the Italian. And maybe even add a pinch or two of cayenne or red pepper flake to the slow cooker.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
