We are now well into June and grilling season is in high gear at our house and hopefully at yours too. At our house we have a rule that I love. If the grill is on, so is sausage. Might as well, the grill is lit, and sausage is perfect on it. If the beautiful Windy and I are having burgers, chicken, pork, corn, veggies or anything else sausage is on as well.
It's the perfect thing to do. I goes on the top shelf, cooks evenly, perfectly and is delicious. It goes well with all of the above and if there are leftovers, OK! GREAT!
My friend Beef and I came up with this rule a number of years ago. We call them "testers." If the sausage is good,then so is everything else. Plus, you can munch on a few brats, or Hot Italian links before the main meal.
There are also a couple of other rules. Hot dogs make nice testers too, but you have to be over 12 to have a brat or sausage "tester." (OK, it's not a REAL rule.) But it should be, as we are OK with maybe a bite or two only from a hot dog, but sausage has to be valued and appreciated. Nothing grill related is as sad as a half eaten sausage left to wither away...
Click on this link (no pun intended) and up your sausage game. I love the spicy ones, but there is a sausage for everyone!
