There's something special about the kitchen that brings families together, and making delicious meals becomes a treasured experience. In this recipe, I'll share my favorite Sausage on Rye, a simple and satisfying dish that's perfect for creating lasting memories with your little ones. It is the perfect lunch when you are short on time that is simple and delicious. This recipe is compliments of my father. We made it together when I was growing up and now I make it with my boys.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of your favorite sausages (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 slices of rye bread
- Mustard and mayonnaise for spreading
- Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. While it warms up, let the kids arrange the sausages on a plate and use a butter knife to spread mustard and mayonnaise on the rye bread slices.
2. Sizzle and Saute: Place sausages in the skillet, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. Simultaneously, have the kids sauté the sliced onions and peppers until softened.
3. Build Your Masterpiece: Once the sausages are cooked, assemble the sandwiches. Let the kids layer the sausages on the rye bread, adding the sautéed onions and peppers. For an extra touch, include a slice of cheese.
4. Press and Melt: If you have a panini press, now's the time to use it! Place the sandwiches in the press until the bread is golden and the cheese (if used) is melted. Alternatively, you can achieve the same effect in a hot skillet with a heavy pan on top.
5. Slice and Share: Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly, then let the kids practice their cutting skills as they slice the sandwiches into halves or quarters.
6. Enjoy Together: Gather around the table and savor the delicious result of your joint effort. The blend of flavors and the joy of making a meal together will surely make these sandwiches taste even better.
Sharing the kitchen with your kids is an opportunity to connect, teach, and create memories that will last a lifetime. This Sausage on Rye recipe not only fills the belly but also warms the heart. Happy cooking and cherishing those moments with your little chefs!
