BBQ Italian Sausage & Pepper on a Bun

Submitted by Bergy

"The aroma while cooking is only half as good as they taste. Easy and filling. Use mild Italian if you do not like too spicy or sub Italian meatballs instead of the sausage"

I'd somehow manage to eat this if even through a chain link fence.

Delish!! I loved the marinade! I made it in the oven on my grill pan, looking forward to making it again on my BBQ once I find it again...lol.

Molto bene! I "grilled" these in my cast iron pan (it's close to zero out) and they were excellent. I subbed splenda for the sugar, cider vinegar and only red pepper. Also, in the tradition of Wisconsin sausage, I boiled them in beer first, not water. (Didn't bother to cool them.) Will absolutely make these again, thanks, Bergy!!

Great recipe. Made a few changes. I grilled inside on a grill pan and to save room and create less messiness, I cooked the veggies separately. I did 5 sausages, 1 green pepper, and 1 yellow pepper. I broiled the buns, added sausage, spicy mustard and veggies, then laid 2 pieces of provolone over the top of the veggies and broiled again to melt the cheese. Served with spicy mustard on the side. :)

Delicious! My sausages were pre-cooked so I skipped step #1 but did split them in half and then grilled them with the peppers and basted with the oil mixture. We had them on sub rolls, brushed and grilled per directions. Really good with the mustard (we used a brown type mustard). Excellent dinner on a hot night, grilled on the deck and enjoyed outside. Will absolutely be made again! Thanks Bergy :)
