Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat and add in the peppers and onions. Stir to combine and cook 3 minutes to soften.
Add in the water, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
Add in the cornmeal, stirring and whisking the whole time to prevent lumps.
Turn heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 35 minutes, stirring often.
Once cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the cheese until combined.
Meanwhile, bring a frying pan to high heat with some oil and add in the sausages. Cook to brown on all sides. Remove from heat and pat dry.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Use a baking dish that is the right size to snugly fit the sausages.
Add half the polenta, then add the sausages. Mark on the parchment paper where the sausages are located so you can make the cuts later. Pour on the rest of the polenta to cover the sausages. Smooth it out on the top, then cover it with plastic wrap. Set in the fridge overnight.
Remove the polenta mixture from the fridge. Slice the polenta in long rectangles using the marks on the parchment as a guide. Trim excess polenta if needed.
Stick skewers into the sausages.
Preheat a grill super hot and brush the polenta with oil. Place on the grill and cook to brown on the bottom. Be very gentle moving them because the polenta will stick and rip away from the sausage easily.
Grill on all sides. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Mix the mayo with the mustard and hot sauce. Drizzle on and serve.
