Bavarian smokies, also known as Oktoberfest sausages, are a type of sausage originating in Bavaria, Germany. They are traditionally made with beef and pork and are seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and white pepper. In this recipe, the smokies are wrapped in bacon and served with a tangy mustard butter. The tomatoes and onions add a fresh and juicy crunch, while the grilled mushrooms provide a smoky and earthy depth of flavour.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2.	Wrap each smokie with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
3.	Grill the wrapped smokies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the smokies are heated through. Turn occasionally during grilling.
4.	While the smokies are cooking, mix the softened butter with the Dijon mustard in a small bowl until well combined.
5.	Slightly toast the buns on the grill.
6.	To assemble, place the cooked smokies on each bun, top with the chopped tomatoes, onions and grilled mushroom (if using).
7.	Spread the mustard butter over the top of the hot dogs and serve.
