How to Make Bbq Italian Sausage Pepper On A Bun

  1. Prick 1 lb Italian sausages with a fork. Cover with water in a saucepan and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Pat dry and slice in half lengthwise, leaving them joined at the bottom.
  2. Heat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (or more, to taste).
  4. Cut 1 large bell pepper (any color) into quarters. Brush the sausage halves and pepper quarters generously with the oil mixture.
  5. Grill the sausages and peppers for 14-18 minutes, basting occasionally with the oil mixture, until the sausages are nicely browned and the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
  6. While the sausage and peppers grill, split 4 hamburger buns in half. If using bread instead of buns, cut into serving sizes, leaving them joined at the middle. Brush the cut sides of the buns/bread with the oil mixture.
  7. Remove the sausages from the grill and set aside to keep warm.
  8. Place the oiled buns/bread cut-side down on the grill and toast for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  9. Fill each bun/bread with a sausage half, a piece of each pepper, and your favorite mustard. Enjoy!
