Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Smoked Polish Sausage
  • 1 large onion sliced into "ring" sections
  • vegetable oil for brushing the onions
  • 1 1/2 cups Apple Juice or cider
  • 1 2 pound bag of Frank's Kraut
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 Tablespoon caraway seed
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed

Instructions

  • Set grill to low heat. (180 degrees) Place the sausages directly on the grill, grilling them slowly to give them some grill marks. *slow is the key here - grilling to fast over high heat will cause your sausage to split and you will lose all of the juices.
  • Lightly brush the onions and add them to the grill, too.
  • Both the sausage and onions will have those nice grill marks in only a few minutes.
  • While these are slowly grilling, to a grill safe pan combine apple juice, Dijon mustard, caraway and celery seed. Stir in Frank's Kraut (the juice, too!) Take pan out the the grill.
  • Cut link sausage into quarters, and nestle the grilled sausage and grilled onions into the kraut mixture.
  • Place pan, uncovered, on grill and close the lid. Continue cooking them on a low simmer for one hour.
  • Serve as is, or on hard rolls.

Notes

A grill mat can be used for grilling the onions if desired. They can be a little tricky to flip.
