Sausage Dogs with Kraut

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Add the avocado oil and spread it evenly across the surface.

2. 2

   Score the sausages with shallow diamond cuts on all sides to help them cook evenly and absorb more flavor.

3. 3

   Place the sausages on the griddle. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, rotating a quarter turn every 2 minutes, until browned on all sides and heated through.

4. 4

   Add the sauerkraut to an open area of the griddle. Stir occasionally and cook until warmed through and lightly caramelized.

5. 5

   Butter the cut sides of the buns and place them cut-side down on the griddle.

6. 6

   Add a small splash of water to the griddle near the buns and cover briefly to steam, keeping them soft while lightly toasted.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sweet & spicy mustard until smooth.

8. 8

   Assemble the dogs: spread the mustard-mayo sauce on each bun, add a sausage, and top generously with sauerkraut.

9. 9

   Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
