Sausage Dogs

I love getting texts from friends showing me what they're eating. This recently happened to me when a good friend sent me step by step pictures and instructions on what she was fixing her family for lunch. I told her I was going to pick her brain about because it sounded SO good and I'm always looking for fun stuff to post here. So here you go. These were DELICIOUS! And the most important thing to remember here is that you need a good spicy mustard! You can use almost any kind of sausage. I think kielbasa would be really good. This was a fun and easy meal to throw together for us and would be great on the weekend or for a crowd.

Sausage Dogs



5 Italian sausages (or Brats)
2 green bell peppers ~ sliced
1 or 2 red bell peppers ~ sliced
1 medium onion ~ sliced
1 cup chicken stock or water
5 hot dog buns
Horseradish mustard
Salt & pepper to taste

In a large skillet, brown the sausages on all sides in a little olive oil.

Remove sausage from the pan.

Add the veggies to the pan and stir.

Pour in chicken stock OR water.

Place sausages on top of veggies and cover pan. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove lid and allow liquid to reduce for another 10 minutes or so.

Spread horseradish mustard over buns. Add some of the veggies. Top with a sausage and more veggies.

Okay...here we go. Except I 

forgot to add the chicken stock 

to the picture. Oops.

Put a little color on the sausage. 

Then remove them from the pan.

Add the sliced veggies and liquid 

to the pan. Place the sausage on top. 

Add salt & pepper to taste.

Allow to cook, covered for about 

15 minutes. Then remove the lid and 

reduce the liquid....about 10 minutes.

Serve it up with some horseradish mustard!!! 

So yum!
