# What You'll Need:
→ Sandwich Components
01 - 4 beef sausages, Cajun-style (or regular beef sausages + Cajun seasoning)
02 - 4 small French baguettes or hoagie rolls, split
03 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
04 - 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced

14 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
15 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

17 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
02 - Grill the Cajun beef sausages for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until well browned and cooked through. Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
03 - While sausages are grilling, split the baguettes and lightly toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until crisp.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, ketchup, parsley, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
05 - Spread a generous layer of remoulade on both sides of each baguette. Layer with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and red onion. Place a grilled sausage in each sandwich.
06 - Close the sandwiches, press gently, and serve immediately.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The house fills with incredible aromas before you even take a bite
- One sandwich manages to be messy, creamy, crunchy, and spicy all at once
02 -
- Don't skip resting the sausages for a couple minutes because all those juices need to redistribute or you'll lose them the moment you cut in
- Making the remoulade ahead of time actually helps the flavors meld together better
03 -
- Double the remoulade and keep it in your refrigerator for burgers, fries, or just straight spoon-eating
- If your grill is running hot, move the sausages to the cooler edge once they're marked so they cook through without burning
