Introduction
Grilled spicy Polish cheese-infused sausage is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Using the Arteflame grill, we'll achieve a perfect sear on the center grill grate at 1,000°F before finishing the sausage on the flat-top griddle for even cooking. This method ensures a delicious snap with every bite while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Let's fire up the grill and get started!
Ingredients
- 4 spicy cheese-infused Polish sausages
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 fresh sausage buns
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup spicy mustard
Instructions
Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
- Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins.
- Light the napkins and allow the grill to heat up, about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the sausages
- Score the sausages slightly to promote even cooking.
- Rub them with a mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 3: Sear the sausages on the center grill grate
- Place the sausages on the center grill grate to sear at 1,000°F.
- Sear for about 1 minute per side, creating a crispy exterior.
- Move them to the flat-top griddle to finish cooking evenly.
Step 4: Grill the toppings
- On the flat-top cooktop, melt butter and add onions, cooking until caramelized.
- Warm the sauerkraut alongside the onions.
- Toast the buns on the griddle for a golden crust.
Step 5: Assemble and serve
- Place the grilled sausage in the toasted bun.
- Top with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and a drizzle of spicy mustard.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Remove the sausages when they are about 15°F below the desired final temperature for perfect doneness.
- Keep the sausages moving on the flat cooktop to prevent overcooking.
- Use butter instead of oil for richer flavor.

- Sweet & Spicy: Add honey and a dash of cayenne to the seasoning blend.
