Ingredients

Scale

Beef Smoked Sausage, sliced into rounds
Barbecue Sauce (homemade ketchup-based, no alcohol)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard (prefer grainy for texture)

Instructions

Preheat skillet over medium heat
Add sausage rounds and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned
Sprinkle brown sugar onto sausages; cook for 2-3 minutes until golden crust forms
Stir in mustard and sauté for 1-2 minutes
Pour in 1 cup homemade barbecue sauce; simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until sauce thickens and adheres to sausages
Cool slightly, then serve in clusters or individually on skewers

Notes

Use beef sausages with 15-20% fat for juiciness
Ensure no alcohol content in the barbecue sauce
For meat-free version: substitute with air-fried portobello mushrooms marinated in liquid smoke
Best served warm with toothpicks for easy serving
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
