Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 sausage links, 2 hot dog buns, mustard, ketchup, and optional chopped onions.
- Place a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a couple of minutes.
- Once the pan is hot, add the sausage links. Cook them for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
- After 5 minutes, check the sausages for doneness. They should be browned and heated through. If they need more time, continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- While the sausages are cooking, prepare the hot dog buns. You can lightly toast them in a separate pan or on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy.
- Once the sausages are fully cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
- Assemble the sausage on the buns by placing one sausage link in each bun.
- Top the sausages with mustard and ketchup to taste. If you like, add some chopped onions for extra flavor and crunch.
- Serve the sausages on buns immediately while they are warm. Enjoy your simple sausage on a bun!
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausages: Select fresh, high-quality sausage links for the best flavor and texture.
- Perfect Cooking Technique: Use medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Turn the sausages occasionally for uniform browning.
- Toasting Hack: Lightly toast the buns for added crunch and to prevent them from getting soggy from the sausage's moisture.
- Flavor Boosters: Experiment with different condiments like spicy mustard, gourmet ketchup, or add sautéed onions for extra depth of flavor.
- Temperature Check: Ensure sausages are cooked through by checking they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Resting Time: Let the sausages rest for a minute after cooking to help retain their juices and maximize flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your sausage on a bun while it's hot and fresh for the best taste and texture experience!
