Ingredients
- 1 whole Onion, Sliced Thin
- 1 whole Fennel Bulb, Sliced Lengthwise And Cut Into 1" Pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, Or As Needed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Smoked Sausage, Cut To Fit Buns And Sliced Lengthwise
- 4 whole Hot Dog Buns
- ½ whole Mozzarella Cheese, Sliced Thin Or Shredded
Preparation Instructions
Add onion and fennel to a pan drizzled with olive oil over medium heat; toss to coat. After 5 minutes, sprinkle with salt. Caramelize, turning frequently, for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat down to medium low and cook for 1 hour. Stir them every few minutes, making sure they don’t burn. You may find that you need to add a little water to the pan if they start drying out and sticking. You could also add a little sugar for extra caramelization.
While those are cooking, preheat the oven to low broil. Cook the sausages for 7-10 minutes on each side until done. Remove, but keep the broiler on.
Fill the hot dog buns with sausage, top with onion/fennel mixture and layer cheese on top. Broil for just a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.
