🔪 How To Make Baked BBQ Sausage
It doesn't get much easier than this recipe! All you will need is a knife, a cutting board, a bowl, and a 9x13 baking dish.
2 pounds of sausage will amount to about 6 servings, whereas 3 pounds of sausage will be closer to 8 servings.
- Prep. Slice 2-3 pounds of sausage into ½-inch rounds.
- Toss. Add 2 cups of BBQ sauce, 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke, and the sliced sausage to a bowl and toss to combine.
- Add brown sugar. Pour the BBQ sausage into a 9x13 baking dish and sprinkle ¼ cup of light brown sugar over the top.
- Bake. Bake at 350°F(175°C)until bubbling and sticky and the sauce has caramelized, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
💭 Tips & Notes
- You can use frozen sliced sausage for this recipe; just add 10 minutes to the cooking time.
- When scaling the recipe up or down, use a generous ½ cup to ⅔ cup of BBQ sauce per pound of sausage.
- Storing: Leftover Baked BBQ sausages should be refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoyed within 3 days. They may also be frozen in a heavy-duty freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Reheating: Place leftover sausages and sauce in a baking dish and cover them with foil. Reheat in the oven at 350°F(175°C)for 10-15 minutes.
What Sausages Are Best For Baked BBQ Sausage?
Kielbasa, or a traditional smoked beef sausage, tastes fabulous when baked in BBQ sauce. However, if you are looking to cut calories, turkey sausage would be your best bet.
Can I Add BBQ Baked Sausage To Baked Beans?
Of course, you can! You could follow this recipe and mix it into your baked beans after they have cooked, or simply add sliced sausage to your baked beans and let them cook together.
If doing the latter, simply follow this baked beans recipe but omit the ground beef and swap it for sausage.
What Is The Cook Time For BBQ Sausage At 350°F?
BBQ baked sausage will take 40-45 minutes to cook when baked at 350°F(175°C).

Hi can u do it with hotdogs too thank you
Reply
Angela @ BakeItWithLove.com says
I'm sure that you could use hotdogs too. I would select the large polish style hotdogs, beef franks, or old fashioned weiners for best results. Thanks for asking!

Can you put it in a crockpot ?
Reply
Angela @ BakeItWithLove.com says
Yes, add everything and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours.

Will it turn out the same in a crockpot or would you suggest the oven?
Reply
Angela @ BakeItWithLove.com says
I think it can cook much faster in the oven, however, it would be great for potlucks with the warm setting for serving. I personally like to toast in the oven on broil for the last few minutes for the caramelization but that can be done before serving if you use the crockpot.

This has become a regular in our rotation for a weeknight easy meal. I have made with kielbasa, beef smoked sausage and last time tricked my husband with turkey smoked sausage. We actually like it the best with the turkey! Maybe because less fatty while saving some calories. Always have used sweet baby rays but next time will try no sugar added to make it even a little bit better for us. Thank you 😊Reply

Can u use anything else if u don't have liquid smokeReply
Angela @ BakeItWithLove.com says
Hi there, if you don't have liquid smoke on hand, it can simply be omitted. Thanks for asking!

Melissa says
You can also substitute a little smoked paprika for the liquid smoke.

Looks FAB, and I will try it within the next 3 days!!! But no matter how good it is, I will most likely NEVER make it again, because I cannot pin it on my Pinterest page. That is where I most often go when looking for something for dinner ideas, and I can't seem to pin this from your page...but thanks again!
