Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup barbecue sauce use your favorite brand
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar for added sweetness
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for a tangy kick
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch pieces. In the baking dish, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the sauce is well mixed.
- Coat the Sausage: Add the sliced sausage to the baking dish, stirring until each piece is evenly coated in the sauce.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The sauce should be bubbly and slightly thickened, and the sausage should be caramelized on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve the BBQ Sausage Bites warm with toothpicks for easy eating.
Notes
- Use Quality Barbecue Sauce: Choose a sauce you love since it will define the flavor. Sweet, smoky, or spicy options all work well.
- Stir Regularly: Stirring while baking ensures even coating and prevents sticking.
- Keep Them Warm: Transfer the baked sausage bites to a slow cooker on the "Warm" setting to keep them hot during your party.
