Well people are doing some pretty outlandish stuff out in the food world these days. So the question is “How do I get in on the fun?”. With that said, my audience (my family) is not exactly ready to step off the ledge for one of my creations (maybe Sam is and Nate has certainly been a good sport). If I start with a grilled cheese, I have everyone in the family still with me. If I make my Mac ‘N Smoked Cheese, I still have everyone with me but my wife and daughter will start to wonder and my daughter will need her lactose pill while my wife will be thinking, I need to try it to make him happy. Then it hit me, why not add a polish sausage to the mix. I am thinking I hit a home run. This is worthy of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and only the men in my family. Sam was out of town, so he will have to wait to try the next one but Nate and his finicky friend got to dig in. The response was pretty favorable. Did I mention, I sauteed the Polish in a skillet with onions and jalapenos?
- Make a roux with 3 tbsp each butter and flour, mix and cook for 1 minute
- Add 1 1/2 cups of fat free 1/2 & 1/2 added slowly and finish by adding 1/4 cup of chicken stock; bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer
- Add 8 oz of shredded medium cheddar and 6 oz of shredded smoked cheddar and stir until fully incorporated
Polish Sausage:
- In a skillet add 2 tbsp olive oil on medium heat; add 1 diced jalapeno and 1/2 of a diced yellow onion and cook for 2 minutes
- Cut the sausages in half lengthwise but just far enough through so they can be placed flat in the skillet
- Grill until charred – about 10 minutes
Grilled Cheese:
- Take 2 pieces of white bread and place on a buttered griddle
- Add 1 piece of American cheese to each piece of bread and grill for 3 – 4 minutes on 325 degrees
Sandwich Assembly:
- Take the 1st piece of the grilled cheese and top with the sausage and some of the pepper and onions
- Grab a good spoonful of the Mac n Cheese and top the sausage
- Finish with the 2nd piece of the grilled cheese and enjoy.
