Ingredients
6 Italian sausages
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 vidalia onion, cut into thin strips
1 jar roasted red peppers
Salt and pepper to taste
6 soft sausage buns
Directions
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Clean the grill grates thoroughly and adjust one side to medium-low heat for cooking the vegetables.
Place a cast iron pan with the olive oil on the medium-low side of the grill. Add the sliced vidalia onion and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Onions should turn golden with slightly crispy edges without burning. About 5 minutes before the onions are done, add the roasted red peppers to the pan. Stir gently and let everything cook together until the peppers warm through and begin to brown slightly at the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully remove the cast iron pan from the grill using grilling mitts—it will be extremely hot. Transfer the onion and pepper mixture to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Place all 6 Italian sausages directly on the medium-heat section of the grill. Grill each sausage for 2 to 3 minutes per side, rotating to create beautiful golden char marks. Sausages are safely cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F or have a fully browned exterior with no pink inside.
Remove the sausages from the grill and turn off the heat.
Assemble sandwiches by placing one sausage on each soft bun. Top generously with the caramelized onion and roasted red pepper mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
