Ingredients
- 14 ounces smoked sausage
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 medium sweet onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven broiler to high heat to prepare for cooking the sausage and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Chop the sweet onion and red bell pepper into similar 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Broil Sausage and Vegetables: Place the sausage, peppers, and onions on a foil-lined baking pan and position it on the top oven rack. Broil for 9 minutes or until the sausage edges start to char and show signs of burning.
- Toss with BBQ Sauce: Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the sausage and vegetables into a large bowl. Toss everything thoroughly with the ½ cup BBQ sauce, coating all pieces evenly.
- Broil Again with Sauce: Return the sauced mixture to the baking pan and broil for an additional 4 minutes until the BBQ sauce caramelizes and threatens to burn, giving a smoky, sticky finish.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Food can burn quickly under the broiler; monitor closely and adjust broiling time according to your specific oven’s heat intensity.
- To keep the dish warm while serving at a party, use a crock pot instead of a serving platter.
- This recipe is also excellent when made on a grill: place sausage bites on hot grill grates, turning frequently, then baste with BBQ sauce and repeat as with broiling.
