4 Gussied-Up Ways To Do Summer Sausages

Sponsored
July 21, 2017

With sausages on the barbie, you have time to focus on—and spice up—your toppings. We partnered with Dietz & Watson to share ways to slather sausages with more than only ketchup and mustard.

Sausage is the type of friend you want at a party. You can dress it up, and it is ready to get going on the grill in a heartbeat. To celebrate all things grilling, we've dreamed up four variations that will make sausages shine this summer as you head toward your next BBQ.

Italian-ish

For a bite of Italy, pair smoked beef hot sausages with prosciutto and a slather of homemade pesto. * Chef kiss * Perfecto.

Buffalo

Why do wings have all the fun? For a less messy Buffalo experience, top Buffalo chicken sausage with blue cheese, grainy mustard, and homemade cabbage slaw.

Mexican-ish

If your party needs a kick, try spicy tomatillo chicken sausage with salsa, cilantro, and cheddar (and a jalapeño if you’re feeling fiery).

Beer Hall

Get ready for the wurst sausage jokes when you serve this beer hall–inspired combo. Top cheddarwurst with grainy mustard, horseradish, and slices of turkey. Oh, and cabbage slaw. Do not forget the cabbage slaw.

Live Dietz and Watson ssusages, especially the hot dogs with natural casing. Only use mustard as I only want to taste the dog!
