Bunnys German Sauer Dogs

When we grill out hot dogs, my favorite way to eat them is with Sauer kraut!  This recipe is my fav!  Can be made stove top, or made in “packets” on the grill!

• 1 lrg can Sauer kraut (or 1.5 regular sized cans)
• 1 green bell pepper – deseeded and chopped
• 1 red bell pepper – deseeded and chopped
• 1 bundle of scallions  – white tops removed and greens chopped
• 1 small yellow onion – diced
• 2 tbsp butter (or spread)
• 1 pinch cinnamon (or paprika + brown sugar!)

Stove top:

Just dump it all in a pan, heat it until the peppers are tender crisp.  Top a dog, and chew.  YUM!

Grill pack:

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (except butter).  Making 3-4 foil packs, place the mix and a dollop of butter. Toss em on the grill about 5 minutes before you start your dogs.  As you start your dogs, flip the pack over and then jab it with a fork for vent holes.  Continue to cook while your dogs are cooking.  Once you dogs are all done, the veggies inside the packs should be tender/crisp.  Carefully open packs – steam will explode out so be careful!  Top your dog and chew.

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Daniels Grillin Sauce

This is one of my favorite glazes.  I like it best on chicken, but my Mr enjoys it on steak so it is very versatile!

Jack Daniels Grillin’ Sauce

• 2 tsp roasted garlic
• 3 tablespoons white onions - minced
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon pineapple - crushed
• 1 tablespoon Jack Daniels Whiskey

In a saucepan, combine all dry ingredients.  Mix well.  Turn heat to med/high and then whisk in the liquid ingredients.  Once mixed dump in the garlic and onions.  Stir well.  Bring mix to low boil for 5 minutes, stirring often.  Remove from heat.

Can be used immediately, or stored up to 3 days in the fridge. 

*If you refrigerate it WILL thicken into a thick gummy paste and you will have to dilute it a little and reheat before you can use it.   It really is better to use FRESH.
