For trick-or-treaters of all ages, there's little time to waste eating dinner when there are doorbells to ring and candy to collect.
Most years, I whirl together a large kettle of pumpkin, apples, carrots, all cooked to tenderness in chicken broth, into a luscious soup. This year, I'll serve small bowls of this sweet-savory soup alongside warm, cheesy sausage sandwiches.
A golden, spicy, mustard-laced onion, cabbage and apple mixture tops fully-cooked sausages before they are covered in cheese and broiled. The cabbage mixture can be made several days in advance, so last-minute prep is kept to a minimum.
Select the sausage flavor as desired, but be sure to use fully-cooked. Chicken sausages, flavored with apple and gouda or Swiss cheese and bacon, prove delicious here. Fully cooked Polish sausages or mild Italian sausages make a richer sandwich. In our experience, fully-cooked bratwurst please most guests....
