Grilled Sandys Summer Sausage with Peppers

Howdy, grill masters and flavor seekers! Today, we’re diving fork-first into a dish that’s as fun to make as it is to devour, perfect for those sunny backyard bashes or when you’re just pretending your balcony is a beach.

Ingredients

• For the sausage and peppers:
  • 1 lb Sandy’s Summer Sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste (just kidding, we said no ‘to taste’—use 1/2 tsp)
• For the grill:
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for greasing)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (that’s about 375°F to 400°F for those who like numbers).
2. While the grill heats up, toss the sausage rounds, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a large bowl. Make sure everything’s evenly coated—no flavor left behind!
3. Lightly grease the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. (Tip: Use tongs and a folded paper towel dipped in oil for a mess-free greasing.)
4. Place the sausage and veggies directly on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the sausage has nice grill marks and the veggies are slightly charred and tender. (Tip: Don’t overcrowd the grill, or you’ll steam instead of sear.)
5. Remove everything from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. (Tip: This lets the juices redistribute, making every bite juicier.)

Ready to serve? The smoky, slightly spicy sausage pairs perfectly with the sweet, charred peppers and onions. Try piling it all on a hoagie roll for a sandwich that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.

Homemade Sandys Summer Sausage Pizza

Unbelievably, summer just got a whole lot tastier with this Homemade Sandy’s Summer Sausage Pizza. It’s the kind of dish that makes you forget about the heat because you’re too busy falling in love with every bite. Perfect for those backyard BBQs or when you’re just pretending to be a pizza chef in your kitchen.

Ingredients

• For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
• For the sauce:
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
• For the toppings:
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced summer sausage
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. This ensures your pizza cooks evenly and gets that perfect crust.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast and warm water, stirring until a dough forms. Tip: The water should be warm to the touch but not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth. Then, let it rest in a greased bowl, covered, for 10 minutes. This lets the gluten relax, making your crust chewy and delicious.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
5. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Tip: Don’t overdo the sauce; a thin layer is enough to keep the crust from getting soggy.
6. Top with mozzarella cheese, followed by summer sausage, black olives, and red onion.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Tip: For an extra crispy crust, place the pizza directly on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes of baking.

Mouthwatering doesn’t even begin to cover it. The crispy crust, the smoky summer sausage, and the gooey cheese come together in a symphony of flavors. Try serving it with a side of cold brew for the ultimate summer meal.

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
