Why the Smoked Sausage Chimichurri Sandwich?
Eckrich Smoked Sausage has been a staple piece in my family for a while. We love grilling up their sausage, using it in gumbo or putting it in chili. But, what about when you are tailgating? Honestly, what about when you just want to relax and watch the football game at home?
Win the Tailgate!
The Eckrich Smoked Sausage Chimichurri Sandwich is the answer to both of those scenarios! This recipe is easy to make while tailgating because it does not require many ingredients & can feed the whole party. This sandwich uses simple ingredients that help to quicken the process of cooking. After you slice into the sausage and place it in your cast iron pan or plancha, you can quickly grill up the cheesy onions and you are done. Pre-make a big batch of chimichurri and chipotle mayonnaise at home so that you can keep the grill going and the sandwiches coming. Easy to feed the whole family plus all their friends before the game.
And what if you just want to stay home and enjoy the game? This sandwich has you covered. I actually made this sandwich for kickoff weekend with my wife! With this recipe being a quick cook and easy to pre-prep, I was done cooking in 30 minutes. That left me plenty of time to eat and be ready for kickoff.
