Ingredients
- 14 ounce smoked sausage
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 medium sweet onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high heat to get ready for cooking the sausage and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch bites. Chop the sweet onion and red bell pepper into similarly sized 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Initial Broiling: Arrange the sausage, onion, and peppers on a foil-lined baking pan. Place the pan on the top oven rack under the broiler. Let it broil for about 9 minutes or until the sausage starts to char and slightly burn.
- Toss with BBQ Sauce: Remove the pan from the oven and transfer all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Toss them thoroughly with the ½ cup of BBQ sauce to coat evenly.
- Final Broiling: Pour the BBQ-coated mixture back onto the foil-lined baking pan. Return the pan to the broiler and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the BBQ sauce just begins to threaten burning, creating a caramelized glaze.
- Serve: Remove from the oven carefully and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Broil with close attention as food can burn quickly under high heat; cooking times can vary by oven.
- For serving at parties, keep the BBQ sausages warm in a crock pot instead of a serving platter.
- This recipe also works great on the grill; simply grill sausage bites over high heat, turning frequently, then toss with BBQ sauce and grill briefly again.
