Tailgate Sausages Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

10 10 20

Ingredients

1/2 cup giardiniera
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 cooked Johnsonville® Three-Cheese Italian Style Sausage links
4 slices provolone cheese, cut into strips
4 brat buns or hot dog buns, split

Directions

In a small food processor, combine giardiniera and sugar; cover and process until blended. Make a lengthwise slit three-fourths of the way through each sausage to within 1/2 in. of each end. Fill with giardiniera mixture and cheese.
Place sausages in buns; wrap individually in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. x 10 in.). Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 8-10 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: Giardiniera, a pickled vegetable mixture, is available in mild and hot varieties and can be found in the Italian or pickle section of your grocery store.
