For this sausage dog recipe, you'll need some essential ingredients. You can use either red or green bell peppers, or a mix of both, depending on your preference for sweetness.

Avocado oil is a great choice for cooking, thanks to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. I always use it in my cooking.

Fine sea salt and fresh ground black pepper are must-haves for adding flavor to your peppers and onions. Don't forget to use them!

Fully cooked sausages are a convenient option, but if you're using raw sausages, make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of at least 160F.

You'll also need sausage buns, which can be any type of sausage, brat, or hot dog bun. Just pick your favorite!

Finally, sliced cheese is an optional but delicious addition. My personal favorite is Tillamook Smoked Black Pepper thick cut slices.

Here's a quick rundown of the ingredients you'll need:

Cooking sausages in the air fryer is a game-changer. This method is a great alternative to grilling or pan-frying, and it's surprisingly easy to get right.

First, make sure to pierce sausages in casings with a toothpick or slice them with a knife to avoid being hit with hot juices later. This simple step can save you from a messy and painful surprise.

To cook sausages in the air fryer, you can follow a recipe similar to my Air Fryer Hot Dogs recipe, but with the added component of cooking peppers and onions with the sausages. This will give your sausages a flavorful twist.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if your first few attempts at cooking sausages in the air fryer don't turn out exactly as you hoped. With a little patience and experimentation, you'll be a pro in no time!

To make the perfect sausage dogs, you'll need to start by prepping the veggies. Add the peppers, onions, oil, salt, and pepper to a medium mixing bowl and use tongs to mix until the veggies are coated in oil and seasoning.

Pour the veggies into the air fryer basket and air fry at 350F for 7 minutes. This will get them started and slightly softened, but they'll still need a bit more cooking time.

After 7 minutes, the veggies will be about halfway cooked, so it's time to add the sausages. Open the air fryer and use tongs to stir, then pierce your sausages with a toothpick or slice with a knife and add them on top of the veggies.

You can cook up to 4 sausages at a time, and air fry at 350F for another 7 minutes, or until they're plump and sizzling. The veggies will be charing at the edges and cooked to your preference.

Here's a quick rundown of the cooking times:

After the sausages are cooked, remove everything from the air fryer basket and assemble the sausage dogs. Place the sausages in buns, pour the peppers and onions into a small bowl, and use tongs to place some cooked peppers and onions on top of the sausages in the buns.

Finally, air fry the assembled sausage dogs at 350F for 2-3 minutes to warm the buns. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to do this in batches of two sausage dogs.
