Servings 24 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 lb. smoked kielbasa
- 1 lb. baby bologna
- 3 tomatoes
- 3 cucumbers (or 1 long English cucumber)
- 1 large yellow pepper
- 1 large red pepper
- 2 large bunch of green onion (I used homegrown green onions)
- 1 cup homemade mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
- 16 0z homemade pizza sauce
- 1 lb. mozzarella cheese
- 12 original English muffins
Instructions
- Dice the vegetables into very small cubes, similar to what you would do for a traditional potato salad. You can use a good sharp knife or a dicer for this.
- Cut the tomatoes and place them on a paper towel to soak up the juice. This step is crucial to prevent your mixture from becoming too watery.
- After the tomatoes are somewhat dry, add them to the rest of the diced vegetables and meat. I usually start by cutting the tomatoes to allow more time for soaking.
- Shred the cheese and set it aside. Finally, cut the English muffins in half.
- Now, it's time to mix the meat and veggies together in a large bowl. Add mayo, salt, and pepper to the mixture and mix it all together until well combined.
- Take 1 tbsp. of pizza sauce and spread it on each half of the English muffin. Then, place 3 tbsp. of the vegetable mixture on each muffin half, spreading it evenly. Arrange the prepared sandwiches on a large baking sheet.
- Top each sandwich with a pinch (about 1 tbsp.) of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Now, bake the sandwiches at 350 ℉ for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is lightly golden brown.
- Let the sandwiches cool down a bit before serving. These mini sandwiches are also excellent for make-ahead preparations and can be refrigerated. They make a perfect, kid-friendly party food and a comforting meal for the family. Enjoy!
