Prep Time: 2 Hours
Yields: 6 Servings

Comment:
Po’boys are without a doubt the ultimate sandwich in South Louisiana. The variations used to fill this crusty French bread delicacy can range from oysters and shrimp to roast beef and seasoned sausages. The number of fillings, toppings and dressings are too many to mention and are always left to the imagination of the cook.

2½ pounds fresh seasoned pork sausage
½ cup bacon fat
2 cups julienne red onions
1 cup julienne green bell peppers
1 cup julienne red bell peppers
1 cup julienne yellow bell peppers

1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 (10-ounce) can RO*TEL® tomatoes
4 cups beef stock
