Let’s face it, with Father’s Day right around of the corner many of us have the difficult task of purchasing a gift for dad. Gifts already require a bit of guessing or luck, but for some reason it’s even more difficult on Father’s Day.
This year I found a fun kitchen appliance perfect for any meat lover in your life. The Johnsonville Sizzling Sausage Grill is your foolproof way to perfectly cooked sausages, every time, without any effort or hands-on time.
To test it out I created a unique recipe besides merely putting a sausage on a bun with toppings. For those gluten-free dads, you can now enjoy these Sweet Potato Sausage Dogs.
These gluten free sausage dogs totally look like the real thing. You’d almost think these were sitting atop real buns. Enjoy them like a regular hot dog, or for less messy eating use a fork and knife.
