Grilled Kielbasa Sandwich with Horseradish Sauce

Preheat indoor grill, panini press, or barbecue.

In a separate bowl, combine mustard, horseradish, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. If you like your sauce extra spicy, add an additional teaspoon of horseradish. (This sauce recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re doing many sandwiches.)

Cut kielbasa in half lengthwise and lightly brush with olive oil. Note that some kielbasa sausages will need to have their outer skin peeled before grilling. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until heated through. Kielbasa is usually smoked so it is already cooked, therefore you are just heating it through and bringing out all the flavors.

Once kielbasa is grilled, lightly brush the rye bread with olive oil. Place bread on the grill until slightly toasted on each side.

Assemble your sandwich with the toasted bread, grilled kielbasa, cheese and a liberal amount of horseradish sauce. Serve with a side of potato chips and a pickle.
