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.
Mayo For The Win
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 almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
