Super Easy Baking Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a 10"x15" jelly roll pan with parchment paper for cooking/baking.
• Place one package of sausage links in the jelly roll pan flat on top of the parchment paper in a single layer.
• When the oven comes up to temperature, place the pan with the sausage on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• When the time goes off remove the sausage from the oven and rotate them to the other side.
• Place them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked through.
• Remove finished sausage to paper towels or brown paper and blot excess grease off of the links with paper towels.
• Repeat process until entire 3-pounds of sausage is cooked.
• Freeze in portion sized bags.
• Afterward, clean-up is a breeze. Wait for grease to cool and then throw away parchment paper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread sausage pieces into a baking dish.
• Bake sausage in preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir sausage with the onion. Pour tomato sauce over the sausage mixture; bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
• Stir bell pepper into the mixture to coat in tomato sauce; cook until the bell pepper is tender, about 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry to a 35 x 30cm rectangle on a surface lightly dusted with flour. Trim the edges neatly, then cut in half lengthways to form two long strips. Spread with a thin layer of the apple sauce, pickle or chutney, leaving a border along the edges.
• Tip the sausagemeat into a large bowl, add 3 tbsp cold water and squash together. Divide the mixture in two and mould each half into a cylindrical shape. Put each portion of meat into the middle of a pastry strip, leaving a border at either side. Brush the pastry border and the top of the sausage mix with the beaten egg. Fold one edge of the pastry over the meat and roll to encase, then use a fork to press the pastry edges together. Cut the sausage rolls into 5cm lengths and arrange on a lined baking tray. Chill for 20 mins. Can be made a day ahead or frozen for up to one month; to bake from frozen, add an extra 10 mins to the cooking time.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the sausage rolls with the rest of the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds or nigella seeds (if using). Bake for 30-35 mins until the pastry is deep golden. Transfer the sausage rolls to a wire rack and leave to cool for 10 mins.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a flameproof casserole dish with a lid. Add the sausages and brown until golden all over, then transfer to a plate.
• Put the frozen veg in the pan and cook for a few mins to thaw. Add the tomatoes, then half-fill one of the cans with water and pour into the dish. Add the beans, season well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Place the sausages on top of the veg, cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 40 mins.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Tear the bread into small chunks or coarsley grate it, making chunky crumbs. Fry in the hot oil until crisp. Serve the casserole in bowls and top with the breadcrumbs.
