# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 4 beef sausages (approximately 14 ounces)

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 medium bell peppers, any color, sliced
03 - 1 large red onion, sliced
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Mustard Glaze

06 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
07 - 1 tablespoon honey
08 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.
02 - Toss sliced bell peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and BBQ sauce until smooth and well combined.
04 - Place beef sausages on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F.
05 - Add seasoned peppers and onions to the grill using a grill basket or foil tray. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender and slightly charred, stirring occasionally.
06 - During the final 2 minutes of grilling, brush sausages generously with the mustard glaze, turning to coat evenly and allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
07 - Serve sausages hot, topped with the grilled peppers and onions. Drizzle with any remaining glaze if desired.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • The mustard glaze creates this gorgeous sticky coating that makes sausages taste like they came from a specialty grill shack
  • You get that complete meal feeling with barely any prep work, just slice and grill
  • The peppers and onions caramelize alongside the meat, soaking up all those delicious rendered juices
02 -
  • Don't apply the glaze too early or the honey will burn before the sausages are done, save it for those final 2 minutes
  • If you're using a grill pan instead of an outdoor grill, crank up your exhaust fan because the glaze can get smoky as it caramelizes
  • The vegetables cook faster than the sausages, so time it right or toss them on when the sausages have about 8 minutes left
03 -
  • Let the sausages rest for 2-3 minutes after glazing so the coating sets up instead of running off immediately
  • Clean your grill grates while they're hot after cooking, that sugary glaze can stick around and burn on your next cook
