Vegan Sausage and Peppers Sandwich with Spicy Mustard Sauce

This was a yummy weeknight meal that came together quickly. I made the sauce the day before because I had the time - having the sauce ready made mealtime even easier.  Serve it with chips or fries and a side salad or smoothie. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 vegan sausages (we like Beyond Meat Original Brats)

4 soft hoagie rolls, split

1 onion, sliced thin

2 bell peppers, sliced thin, any color

4 slices of provolone or havarti OR vegan cheese (I like Violife), optional 

1 Tbl olive oil

Sauce:

3 Tbl ketchup

2 Tbl Dijon mustard

2 Tbl water

1 Tbl honey

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp garlic powder 

1/4 tsp onion powder

pinch of red pepper flakes, optional 

Directions:

Add olive oil to a pan oven low-medium heat, depending on your burner. Add sliced onions and sauté for 10 minutes or so, stirring only every four or five minutes. Add thinly sliced bell peppers and continue sautéing for another 10 minutes or so. Turn the heat down to low if the onions begin to burn. 

While the onions and peppers are cooking, make the sausages and the sauce. 

Cook the sausages according to directions on the package (I split mine in half down the middle length wise so they were crisp all over).  

For the sauce - whisk everything together and set aside. 

Toast the split rolls in the oven, if desired. If using cheese add a slice or two to each split roll and continue toasting until the cheese is just melted. Now assemble the sandwiches by adding the bell peppers, onions and sausages. Drizzle with the sauce. Serve with a side salad, and fries or chips. Enjoy!
