tips to make Brown Sugar BBQ Sausage Bites

• Use sausages you like best, mild or spicy.
• Cut pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.
• Stir halfway through baking so sauce coats all pieces.
• If sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or more vinegar to thin it.
• For more caramelization, broil the last 1-2 minutes while watching closely.

variation (if any)

• Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for heat.
• Use honey or regular brown sugar instead of sugar-free brown sugar if you prefer regular sugar.
• Mix in diced bell peppers or onions before baking for extra flavor and texture.

FAQs

Q: Can I use pre-cooked sausages?
A: Yes. If sausages are pre-cooked, reduce baking time to 10-15 minutes just to heat and caramelize the sauce.

Q: Is sugar-free brown sugar needed?
A: No. You can use regular brown sugar if you do not need it sugar-free. The taste will be sweeter.

Q: Can I make this on the stove instead of the oven?
A: Yes. Brown the slices in a skillet, add the sauce, and cook a few minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the sausage.

Q: Can I freeze these bites?
A: You can freeze cooled bites in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
