About the Recipe

A Chicago classic featuring grilled or fried polish sausage topped with yellow mustard, grilled onions, and sport peppers on a poppy-seed bun.

Ingredients

For the onions

  • 2 Tablespoons Oil

  • 2 Large yellow onion thinly sliced

  • Kosher salt to taste

For the sausages

  • 2 Tablespoons oil

  • 8 Polish sausages - 4 Stoysich Smoked Polish, cut in half or use our 1/4 pound links (frozen if we have in inventory)

  • 8 Poppy seed or plain hot dog buns

  • Yellow mustard

  • Picked sport peppers (optional)

Preparation

  • Make the onions: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and let them sit for a few minutes to develop some color, then stir. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and translucent, but not quite caramelized. About 20 minutes.

  • Remove the onions to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. In the same pan that the onions were cooked in, heat the additional 2 tablespoons of oil and add the sausages. Working in batches, cook the sausages for 5 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp.

  • Place the buns on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until warmed and steamy.

  • Add a sausage to each bun and top with the onions, yellow mustard and sport peppers, if using.

  • Enjoy!
