Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, chop a small white onion and set it aside.
Once the grill is hot, place the sausages on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
While the sausages are grilling, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In the last few minutes of grilling, place the hot dog buns on the grill cut-side down to toast lightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Once the sausages and buns are ready, assemble your sausage in a bun. Place a sausage in each bun.
Top each sausage with a tablespoon of yellow mustard, a tablespoon of ketchup, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise (optional).
Add a spoonful of sautéed onions and a couple of tablespoons of sauerkraut on top of each sausage.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic grilled sausage in a bun.
