Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush 4 andouille sausage links with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Grill sausages for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through with crispy edges.
  2. Step 2: Slice the 12-inch French baguette lengthwise but not all the way through. In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Creole mustard, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Spread the Creole mustard mayo evenly inside the baguette. Layer the grilled andouille sausages inside, then top with 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce and thin slices of 1 medium tomato.
  4. Step 4: Close the sandwich gently, slice into four portions, and serve immediately for a smoky, spicy Mardi Gras-inspired po’boy.
