Easy Grilled Sausage with Onions and Mushrooms

One of my favorite things about warm weather is grilling.  It's so easy and clean-up is a breeze.  We had grilled chicken sausage with onions and mushrooms tonight for dinner and it was wonderful.  Serve with a salad and grilled asparagus and relax with a glass of wine while enjoying the warm weather.

This is so easy.  You can use these basic ingredients or add your favorite vegetables.

1 package chicken, beef, or pork sausage sliced into medallions
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, cut in half
1 large sweet onion, cut into chuncks
olive oil
1 T. butter
salt and fresh ground pepper

Combine sausage and vegetables in a foil lined grilling pan.  Cut up butter and sprinkle over sausage and vegetables.  Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over mixture.  Salt and pepper then toss all ingredients to combine.  Grill over medium heat until onion and mushrooms are tender.  I like to let them caramelize a little.  This should take about 30 minutes. 

To make grilled asparagus, snap asparagus spears to break off the tuff ends.  Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Grill til tender and slightly caramelized.  Place asparagus directly on the grill grate.  Asparagus will take less time on the grill.  Watch to make sure it doesn't burn.
