When it comes to the summertime, I feel like the days go by way too quickly once noon hits! Between busy schedules, work, and gym time, I don’t have much time to cook so I prep-ahead with my Eckrich Smoked Sausage.
I love to cut up my veggies and sausage in the early morning and store them in airtight containers in the fridge for later in the day. That makes mealtime prep quick and efficient when it matters most!
An easy tip when making these Sausage Flatbread Pizzas is to grill more sausage & veggies than needed. You will be thanking yourself later in the week when you can easily enjoy tacos or a sausage and veggie meal over rice.
My kid’s favorite love smoked sausage. They enjoy the softer texture, and naturally hardwood smoked taste, paired with the perfect blend of spices that come together to provide the best taste.
I can get dinner done quickly with precooked sausage because I know it is a no-fuss way to put a flavorful meal on the table quickly. It is so versatile and available in ropes and links. You can easily find it in the deli section at your local market.
I love it on the grill in the summer because the grill flames really enhance the natural hardwood flavor which then melds into the veggies for a delicious combination.
As mentioned, I love to grill more than I need for the pizzas because Eckrich Smoked Sausage reheats well.
I grill the veggies until the just start to soften from the flames. The sausage cooks up quickly too, and usually gets a slightly crunchy outer skin that is pure perfection!
Once the sausage & veggies are done, I place the extras in the fridge.
I grill the flatbread for 1-2 mins to get the grill lines, and then it is time to assemble.
I add the marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and Eckrich Smoked Sausage to each flatbread.
Simply place the completed sausage flatbread pizza(s) on the grill and cook them over indirect heat until the cheese starts to bubble.
Once off the grill, simply, slice and enjoy!
Make sure you make some extra peppers, onions, and sausage for mid-week dinners or lunches!
