Scale
Ingredients
- 14 ounces smoked sausage
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ medium sweet onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high heat to prepare for cooking the sausage and vegetables quickly and create a nice char.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into 1-inch bites. Chop the half sweet onion and the medium red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Initial Broiling: Arrange the sausage, peppers, and onions evenly on a foil-lined baking pan. Place the pan on the top oven rack and broil for 9 minutes or until the sausage begins to burn slightly, developing a smoky char.
- Toss in BBQ Sauce: Carefully remove the pan from the oven and transfer the ingredients to a large bowl. Thoroughly toss them in ½ cup of BBQ sauce to coat all pieces.
- Final Broiling: Spread the sauced mixture back onto the foil-lined baking pan evenly. Place it under the broiler again for 4 minutes or until the BBQ sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Use a foil-lined pan for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust broiling time to prevent over-burning based on your oven’s broiler strength.
- Choose a BBQ sauce with your preferred level of sweetness or smokiness.
- Serve with rice, salad, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- For a spicier variation, add sliced jalapeños with the peppers and onions.
