Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 28 ounces (2 14-ounce packages) skinless smoked sausage, sliced into 1 inch pieces (Eckrich brand recommended)
  • 1½ cups BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Coat the Sausage: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced smoked sausage pieces with 1½ cups of BBQ sauce, stirring well until all the sausage is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the BBQ-coated sausage pieces evenly into the prepared baking dish to create a single layer.
  4. Bake the Sausage Bites: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the sauce reduces and becomes bubbly while the sausage cooks through and edges crisp slightly.

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 up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or microwave for 1 to 1½ minutes.
  • Tip: Spray baking dish lightly with non-stick spray but avoid excess, as sausage releases fat while baking.
  • For Crispier Edges: Broil sausage bites for 2-3 minutes after baking for extra crispness.
  • Grill Alternative: Skewer and grill the coated sausage pieces until crispy for a smoky, grilled variation.
