Equipment

  • gas grill
  • tongs

Ingredients

  • 16-20 oz package of fresh sausage Polish, Italian, Brats or smoked sausage
  • 1 bun per sausage link

TOPPING IDEAS:

  • condiments: ketchup, mustard, mustard-horseradish combination
  • pickled red onions
  • sauerkraut
  • coleslaw
  • grilled onions and bell peppers
  • dill pickles
  • sweet relish

Instructions

  • Preheat the gas grill to medium heat to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees).
  • Place sausage links directly on the grates over direct heat. Close lid and cook 3-5 minutes until grill/char marks.
  • Use tongs to turn sausage over. Continue cooking another 2-3 minutes or until internal temp reaches 160 degrees (Insert meat thermometer into the end of the sausage so you don’t lose all that juice from inside).
  • Level up buns - brush with butter or olive oil then place on the grates over indirect heat for a minute or two until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill and serve right away.

Notes

This easy recipe works great with both smoked and fresh sausage.
To enjoy as an appetizer grill, slice and serve with a tasty dipping sauce (my family loves mustard+horseradish sauce).
