# How To:

01 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F.
02 - Place Cajun beef sausages on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until well browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
03 - While sausages are grilling, split the baguettes in half lengthwise. Place cut-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and crisp.
04 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, ketchup, minced parsley, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
05 - Spread a generous layer of remoulade on both cut sides of each toasted baguette. Layer bottom half with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, dill pickles, and red onion. Place a grilled sausage on top of the vegetables. Close with the top baguette half, press gently together.
06 - Cut sandwiches in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately while sausage is still hot and bread is crisp.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The remoulade sauce comes together in seconds but makes everything taste like a corner restaurant in New Orleans
  • These sandwiches hit that perfect crunch to juicy ratio that makes you actually pause eating to appreciate it
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that burning the remoulade on the grill is tragic so sauce your bread after toasting
  • Resting the sausage for those 2 minutes makes all the difference between juicy and dry so dont skip it
03 -
  • Make double the remoulade and keep it in the fridge for burgers fries or honestly eating with a spoon
  • If your grill is being temperamental a cast iron skillet on the stove works perfectly fine for the sausages
