You may have never even thought about it but Italian sausage is great on the grill. This recipe consists of grilled Italian sausage with onions and peppers in a sweet and sour sauce. This recipe can be completely prepared on the grill but I prepared it using a combination of the stovetop and the grill. Prepare the recipe on the stove top and then brown the Italian sausage on the grill. I like to serve this recipe on bratwurst buns but you could also serve it as is. Enjoy.
