Smoked Sausage Sandwich

Ingredients

• 4 quality Italian sausages
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ red onion, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 French baguette, cut into 8 pieces (or 4 pieces for a full portion)
• deli mustard, about 1 tablespoon per sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat smoker to 225 - 250 degrees, using fruit wood (like cherry).

2. 2

   Place sausages on smoker for approximately one hour and remove when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let sit for about 10 minutes and cut in half.

3. 3

   With about 15 minutes left on the sausages, preheat a skillet to medium high heat and then add olive oil, and then add the onions and peppers. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until soft and slightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Cut baguette into eight pieces and then cut down the center to make a bun-like shape, but take care not to cut all the way through.

5. 5

   Layer the sandwich with pepper/onion, then mustard and top with the sausage. Repeat with each slice of baguette for eight servings
