Grilling sausages seems simple, but a few tricks make the difference between burst casings and perfection. Starting over indirect heat and finishing with a sear yields the best texture.
Preheat grill to medium with a two-zone setup. Toss onion and pepper slices with olive oil.
Place sausages over indirect heat and cook 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Move sausages to direct heat and sear 2-3 minutes per side until charred. Grill vegetables alongside.
Toast buns cut-side down on the grill for 30 seconds.
Serve sausages in buns topped with grilled peppers, onions, mustard, and sauerkraut.
Serve alongside a fresh baguette and salted butter
Pair with a crisp green salad with Dijon vinaigrette
Any fresh sausage works well on the grill
Adds a chewy, malty flavor base
Never prick sausages with a fork—it lets all the juices escape.
For beer brats, simmer sausages in beer and onions for 20 minutes before grilling.
Refrigerate cooked sausages for up to 4 days.
Reheat on the grill or in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes.
