Ingredients and Variations
Sausage: Italian sausages are extra juicy with a tinge of spiciness. Bratwurst, Andouille, Kielbasa, and Linguica are all bold-flavored sausages that work in this recipe. No time for sausages? Use a bag of ready-made frozen meatballs (or homemade meatballs) and skip Step 4.
Vegetables: Choose colorful peppers for a knockout presentation. Red onions will caramelize sweeter than yellow or white ones. Strike while the grill is hot and add to the veggie bounty with grilled peppers, zucchini, and eggplant.
Variations: Add some crushed tomatoes for a sweeter sauce, or sliced black olives, jalapenos, or green chiles for more flavor.

Tips for Grilling Sausage & Peppers
- Make sure to use hot mitts when handling cast iron since it will be very hot and very heavy.
- A meat thermometer is key for gauging whether meat cooked on the grill is done; pork should be a minimum of 165°F.
- Keep veggies cut to the same size so they cook evenly. For an extra pop of flavor, rub a clove of garlic over the toasted bun before building your sausage dog.
