Ingredients
- 28 ounces (2 14-ounce packages) skinless smoked sausage, sliced into 1 inch pieces (Eckrich brand recommended)
- 1½ cups BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays brand)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Coat Sausage: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced smoked sausage pieces with the BBQ sauce, stirring until each piece is fully coated with sauce.
- Arrange in Dish: Spread the BBQ-coated sausage pieces evenly into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Stir the sausage pieces every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and to help the BBQ sauce reduce and become bubbly.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or in the microwave for 1 to 1½ minutes.
- Tips: After coating in sauce, bake immediately or refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Use minimal non-stick spray as the sausage releases fat during baking.
- For crispier edges, broil the sausage for 2 to 3 minutes after baking.
- Grilling option: Skewer sausage pieces, coat them in sauce, and grill until crispy.
