Method

Step 1
Heat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F) and lightly oil the grates. Do not cook sausages over high heat or the skins split.
Step 2
Grill the sausages, turning every few minutes, 12 to 15 minutes until browned all over.
Step 3
Check that the center reaches 160 degrees F.
Step 4
Rest 3 minutes so the juices settle.
Step 5
Serve in buns with mustard and grilled onions.

Cook's tips

Let the meat rest a few minutes off the heat before cutting so the juices redistribute instead of running out onto the board.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Taste and adjust the seasoning right before serving -- salt levels vary a lot between brands of broth, sauce, and canned goods.
