I’m always looking for something new to make on my oil-less fryer. This time I roasted a few smoked sausage with sauerkraut on the Char-Broil Big Easy and made a fantastic dinner. I could’ve made this dish with fresh sausages, but I had a 3-pound pack of pre-cooked sausages on hand, so that’s what I used. You can use fresh too.

So, like I said, it’s easy… Just skewer the sausages…

Into a fired-up Big Easy for about 20 minutes… The sausages came out moist and very flavorful…

Meanwhile I cooked up some kraut with onion and carrots. For the final dish I added a bit of our favorite mustards from Zatarain’s.

You could just as easily leave out the carrots and just serve the smoked sausage with sauerkraut on the Char-Broil Big Easy on buns topped with kraut and mustard. Yum!

Don’t be afraid to roast a few red peppers on your Big Easy to add to the kraut.
