How Do You Spice Up The Sausage Sandwich?

We've all been there: You're hankering for something different, beyond the routine. You peer into the refrigerator and find only the standards --eggs, bacon, milk, sausage. Still, nothing comes to mind. 

You close the frig in frustration and wait until an idea hits you or you give in and cook something that doesn't require much thought. 

You eat, yet you're left unsatisfied. 

It's often those times when you spend money unnecessarily -- buy additional food or order out to fill that craving. With a little patience and creativity, you can spin your standards into something special like this basil-sausage sandwich. Mmmm, mmmmm good. 

Basil-sausage Sandwich

How'd I do it?

Well, I didn't give up so easily though in the past I had. I asked myself how can I step up a sausage sandwich -- make it urban sophisticated like the ones restaurants change more than $10 for?  I grabbed the tomato-basil-flavor sausage, French roll bread, Ranch dressing, fresh basil, tomatoes, butter and worked my magic.

Cut the sausage lengthwise and grill the halves. Butter both sides of the roll. Grill the buttered-sides. Spread Ranch dressing or a similar cool-flavored condiment on the bread. Slice tomatoes and put on the bread. Top with the cooked sausage then fresh basil. Pour an individual-size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in the tray. 

Now serve your new sassy sausage sandwich.
