Ingredients
>
1 lb Italian sausage
>
2 (18 oz) tubes polenta
>
3/4 cup flour
>
3 tbsp parsley
>
3/4 cup ketchup
>
2 tbsp yellow mustard
>
2 tbsp light brown sugar
>
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
>
1/4 cup canola oil
>
4 hamburger buns
Steps
1
Remove sausage meat from casings. In a medium nonstick pan, cook sausage on medium-high 10 min., until sausage is browned and crumbled, using a spatula to break up meat. Discard any rendered fat in pan.
2
Meanwhile, slice the ends from each polenta. Cut each tube in half and slice into thick fries, around 4-x ½-inch sticks. To gallon-size resealable plastic bag, add flour, salt, and pepper. Add polenta pieces into bag, gently coating with flour.
3
Chop parsley. Into pan with sausage, add ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat on medium-high until mixture is simmering. Reduce heat to low and cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.
4
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on high. Working in batches, cook polenta until golden brown, about 3–4 min. per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve sloppy joe mixture on hamburger buns with polenta fries.
