Sausage Dogs

We love sausages, we love to grill, we love grilled peppers and onions…this is our kind of recipe!  We have a large grill “plancha” or plate that makes this recipe even easier…I mixed the oil, vinegar, sugar and seasonings in a plastic bag and then added the peppers and onions.  I mixed them up and poured them out on the plancha to cook while the sausages grilled.  If you don’t have a plancha, try cooking the vegetables in a cast iron skillet right on your grill.

With homemade buns and home-canned molasses baked beans and a crisp chopped salad we had a delicious, quick lunch.  I usually have buns ready in the freezer, and I can beans in the winter for the summer grilling season.
