Grill Basket Sausage and Peppers. Make grilling quick and easy with a simple accessory—the grill basket! Serve with rice, potatoes, or on its own.
A simple accessory can make grilling a hands-off process. Grill baskets are easy to come by and they are a great way to put everything on the grill and have it cook at once. It’s helpful when you want to marinate something, or you want to cook food in such as way that it doesn’t burn quickly. You can make the grill work for you in different ways. With the basket, you’re using indirect heat.
This recipe incorporates chicken sausage, peppers, and red onion but feel free to put in other veggies, or double the recipe and get two baskets. We love this cook because it’s really simple and mostly hands-off, and it tastes good whether you eat it hot off the grill (yum) or cold from the fridge.
