Food Lion had Andouille on sale, so I grabbed some of that and a big box of red beans and rice to mix up. I hope it's edible. I really wish I hadn't looked it up to see what's in it and also hope it's an Americanized version and not very authentic. I read 100% pork and thought, "Great no chicken added for filler!" Sounds gross:

"Andouille is a large sausage made from the digestive tract of a single pig. In France, it's made by mixing onions and seasonings with the chopped or sliced strips of a pig's stomach and small intestines. Then, the mixture is put in a casing made from the pig's large intestine, poached, and allowed to cool.

Most andouille found in U.S. stores is Cajun-style. This type is made from the upper shoulder of a pig (often called the pork butt) and mixed with spicy seasonings. Instead of being poached, it is twice smoked."
I'm not much on Andouille. It's edible, but I won't buy it again. The only way to describe it is onions and heat. Not a very good sausage at all.

Last night I grilled strip steaks seasoned with salt and pepper.

Side dish is a childhood favorite my mom made.
1# medium shell pasta cooked per package, drain and coat with a bit of olive oil.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 can diced tomatoes with 1 can cooked chickpeas (drained), season with 1/4 c red wine, 1/4 c diced onion, 1/8 c minced garlic and 1 heaping Tbsp Italian herb mix.
Mix pasta and tomato/chickpea together.

I'm making Italian beef to eat on for the next however long it lasts. I'll probably also make cheeseburger mac for freezer meals.

Has anyone tried a recipe to make your own gyro meat? I've seen a couple recipes and really want to try it.
 
Long as it can be changed up.

Leftover grilled burgers turned into patty melts, on rye bread with lots of sauteed onions. Oh yeah!
Yep! I love to use a leftover burger to make a walking cheeseburger... you dice up the burger, diced pickles, finely shaved onion pieces, a squirt of your favorite flavored mustard (mine is jalapeno mustard), diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of shredded cheese mix it up then of course drizzled with Heinz ketchup!

Zatarain’s jambalaya with andouille sausage, jalapeño, pablano and some extra bell peppers and onions.
What brand andouille did you get? The Zatarain's was on sale and that's the only reason I used it instead of smoked sausage. The onion in it overpowered everything else. I can't imagine adding more onion. It blended well over night and calmed down quite a bit. I had it for lunch and it was much better as a leftover.

Trying to find things that I can make fast these days, considering my long commute.

I got the standard Zatarain’s jambalaya box. And Johnsonville andouille sausage.

It’s not the best but it’s not bad.

I may give jambalaya a try in a week or two. I still have lunches for a couple days. I've got to learn that when something is a "2 for" deal, I don't actually have to get two.
