GRILLED SAUSAGE SANDWICH WITH JEZEBEL SAUCE

Grilled Sausage Sandwich With Jezebel Sauce image

From the Cookbook "Crazy Sista Cooking" by Lulu Buffet. The original recipe calls for smoked sausage from Conecuh County, AL. If you can't get that, any good smoked sausage like Kielbasa will work. You can fry or grill the sausage. I prefer mine with the Sausage grilled. Serve with chips, fries, potato salad or coleslaw on the side. Cooking time shown does not reflect chill time for Jezebel sauce.
