No I didn’t mean to say sliders; these sandwiches were not as large as a regular sandwich patty but bigger than a slider. So I am calling them sledders. I never really understood the fad of sliders. Why eat three sliders when a regular sized sandwich would work?
I had some take home and bake dinner rolls to use up and that dictated I make smaller patties than normal. I had a pound and a half of sausage and some Penzey’s Italian sausage seasoning I wanted to try. I tasted it and seemed a little salty; the directions said use a tablespoon for every pound of sausage. I used just over a tablespoon for the 1 ½ pounds. They turned out too salty; otherwise it was a good seasoning. Next time a heaping teaspoon will do.
I spread the sausage out in a dish, added the seasoning and mixed well; then it went in the fridge for several hours. I made up the patties a couple of hours before time to cook; then back in the fridge.
I was having spaghetti squash and a few Ore Ida frozen grillers left to use up. I split the squash in half and removed the seeds. I did them in the oven on a cookie sheet for 1 ½ hours at 350 deg. I place a couple pats of butter and seasoned the squash then place cut side down over the butter. I used Penzey’s sandwich sprinkle; that is my favorite all-purpose seasoning. It has a good garlic taste.
A half hour after I got the squash in the oven I put my sausage patties on the smoker preheated to 275 deg. I had figured an hour at that temp. I sprinkled some crushed red peppers on two patties for me. I put the potatoes on the last 35 minutes. While the sausage was cooking I made some caramelized onions to top the sandwiches. When they were starting to brown I threw in a few sliced green peppers.
After the sausage had been on 45 minutes I checked with a temp probe and they were done so I turned the smoker back to 180 deg. to hold while I baked my buns.
My wife and I both had mustard and the caramelized onions on our sandwiches. I topped our squash with a little more sandwich sprinkle and some shaved parmesan cheese. Other than the sausage being too salty it tasted pretty good.
