Sausage sizzle rules

There are new rules for the good old Bunnings sausage sizzle. We think they may be a few sausages short of a BBQ!

Ingredients

  • 1 Sausage

    Grilled

  • 1 slice White bread

    Fresh

  • 1 cup Onions

    Sliced and grilled

  • to taste null Sauce

    Tomato or BBQ

Allergy Advice

Contains Gluten

Contains Soy

Equipment

  • 1 Barbecue or flat-top grill
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Spatula

Instructions

  1. Grill the sausages and sliced onions on a flat-top barbecue until the sausages are cooked through and onions are soft.
  2. Place a single slice of white bread on a flat surface (usually held in the hand).
  3. Spread a portion of grilled onions onto the bread first (as per the safety recommendations).
  4. Place the hot grilled sausage on top of the onions, positioned diagonally across the bread.
  5. Squeeze tomato or barbecue sauce over the top of the sausage.

Notes

Tip
The onion goes under the sausage to help contain spillage and prevent slipping hazards.
Tip
Fold the bread diagonally to get the best grip on the sausage.
Variation
Add mustard for extra zing.
Variation
Use a hot dog bun if you prefer, though sliced bread is the 'sizzle' standard.
Storage
Best eaten immediately while hot.

    I am so over all the PC ness, some people are so precious! I worked at Bunnings for ages and we never had an onion incident! Anyone can fall anywhere, Bunnings sell bubble wrap, maybe the man who slipped should have bought himself some…

    I do think it is rather funny that people have got nothing better to do with their time than complain about which order the onion goes in your sausage sizzle. As above, I agree, to me it doesn’t matter which way the onion goes on. I also have to think, over the years of sausage sizzles I have never heard of anyone injuring themselves by slipping on a piece of sliced cooked onion falling from your sausage sizzle.

    At least they didn’t ban the onion all together. Im not sure why it matters to people if the onion goes in top or bottom. Either way they end up in your mouth with the sausage? Am I missing something here?

    This is just …too funny. Over an an onion? Wow, people can slip on anything. It can be a wet floor or some person’s purchase that the bought from Bunnings. Thanks for sharing the sausage recipes though I’m not a big fan of sausages. Maybe bacon? Yes, bacon!

    I actually think it’s cool that Bunnings released these rules. I know, health and safety ruining everything… But someone was hurt and at a recent work bbq I changed my own ways – onion underneath and it was awesome. Way less messy. So I guess it made me stop and think, do a safer thing and I didn’t lose the enjoyment of the meal either.

    I always have my onion under the sausage but who’s going to stop a sneaky bit of onion from falling out into the ground it can happen at any time. We love sausage casserole in our house and in the slow cooker so when we have after school activities we come home to yummy food.

    This is the crazy PC overly zealous health and safety freak world we now live in 😛 If someone slips, that is on them sorry. I personally prefer sausages without the onion so doesn’t both me either way!

    I LOVE sossies!!! Gotta have sausages on the BBQ 🙂 I do think the Bunnings saga is pretty ridiculous though, goodness gracious! The world has just become a little bit too PC I think. I have my onion on top of the sausage then add sauce, wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂

    Lol what a silly load of rubbish. I myself prefer the onion on top of the sausage lol but gosh I wouldn’t freak out either way lmao. Onion is onion as long as it comes with the sausages it’s no drama. Cricky dickens Australia.
