Texas BBQ Sausage Seitan Sandwich

Texas BBQ Sausage Seitan Sandwich is spicy delicious! Besides vegetables and steamed seitan there are six herbs and spices added to the mix.  Serve on a big bun and take a big bite.

I love sandwiches.  That is something I had to adjust to when I became a vegan.  It takes a little more planning for sandwiches now.

You can roast veggies for layers of goodness.  Sandwich bean patties can be ready to go once in a while (especially if you pre-made them for the freezer.

And, once in a while, mixtures that go on bread such as this Texas BBQ Sausage Seitan can be made for a very special delicious protein packed sandwich.

Another great thing about seitan, besides being easy to make, is that the recipe is usually a larger batch than you are looking for.  Enter the freezer.  Seitan freezes perfectly.

So, if you’re lucky enough to have extra, freeze it for really easy sandwiches in the future.

Another nice plus for seitan, besides the major protein boost, is that is tastes so good.  The texture is tender and goes so well with any veggie you can think of.

I mentioned a roasted veggie sandwich up above and I don’t want you to miss the one I have on the blog.  Roasted Veggie Sandwich is a tasty mouthful!

In fact, you might want to type sandwich in this blogs search box up in the top tight  sidebar.  You’ll get at least 12 wonderful sandwiches to enjoy on any day of the week.

First try this one.  It’s so worth it.
