These grilled sausage and pepper dogs remind me so much of date nights, oh man I miss date nights out of the house, darn you COVID. I look forward to the next time we will go see a Laker game, have a blast all night and end it with a LA street dog! We’ve been doing this for 10 yrs! True Laker fans over here. However this grilled sausage craving could totally be related to my pregnancy too, haha!
Nothing is better than a summertime meal outside. I think we are all sick quarantine. I completely understand why my dog loves walks so much after I’ve been in this quarantine experience. Today I walked the aisles safely in my favorite store, Trader Joes, went for brioche buns came out with that, and much more! I always get sucked in by the seasonal items. I used TJ’s organic Italian Chicken Sausage for the sausage dogs, but any cooked Italian sausage will work great.
The flavor of these dogs is more of an Italian/Mexican fusion. We get the best of both worlds in every single bite! The chipotle aioli brings a nice spicy flavor that makes this so addicting. Needless to say, these will be a new summer grilling favorite.
