I knew I shouldn't have looked. We won't have a single penny before hunny gets paid again on Friday and by then the sales will be over, but I just had to look and see what Winn Dixie has on sale.
They have their bratwurst and Italian sausage on sale!!! $2.99 a pound. I could just cry. Granted, it's not our regularly cheap meal -- it's more like $2 per person rather than $1 per person -- but, wow, it is a good meal.
I found the recipe on the Johnsonville website: Gyro Brat Hoagie. Of course, it goes without saying that Johnsonville's brat is better tasting, but the Winn Dixie brat doesn't let you down either. And, either is sooooooo much cheaper than lamb! Seriously, try this recipe sometime.
We don't have a grill, so I cook the brats in about 3/4" of water in a big skillet, letting the water boil off and turning them to cook on all sides. Then I slice them longways. At this point, it's good if I already have the onions and tomato sliced and the tzatziki (cucumbers and sour cream) prepared because the vultures are already circling trying to get a nibble of meat.
Some day, I really want to make the tzatziki with Fage yogurt... ah... that will be living the dream!
This is a good one for the vegetarians as well. They love filling their sandwich with the veggies and tzatziki.
If I can get to the farmer's market for the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions; get a good price for the Italian bread, the sausage and the sour cream; we can feed the eight of us for about $12-15 total, but there won't be any leftovers. ;-)
