What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Bright Ideas: Kielbasa Hot Dogs! If you like to try something a little different than ordinary hot dogs, choose a beef sausage link that focuses more on natural flavorings like garlic, woodsmoke, cloves, or pimento. Personally, I lean more toward nitrate-free labeling, which means the preservatives are natural rather than chemically added. Every little bit helps, because sometimes eating a grilled hot dog just makes the world a happier place.
KIELBASA HOT DOGS
Ingredients:
13-ounce package of 4 kielbasa smoked sausage links, fully cooked
4 brioche split-top brioche hot dog buns
1/2 sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup yellow mustard
Instructions:
Preheat gas grill to 400Β°. Arrange smoked sausage links directly on the grill grates. Close lid. The total cooking time should be approximately 12 minutes. After 3 minutes, using tongs rotate each sausage link a quarter turn. Close lid. After 3 more minutes, rotate another quarter turn. Repeat until all sides have been slightly charred. It helps to keep the sausage links from touching as they cook; this allows the heat to sear the skins evenly. When finished transfer to a platter and serve with chopped onion, sweet pickle relish, and yellow mustard.
In old days I would love your dish, Gail, now as a committed vegetarian, I have to resist the temptation.

Smuggle those marshmallows in. They are rather small. Be careful of the chocolate though, it melts easily…
