** Sausages cooked this way make great 'hogies', 'po' boys' or 'subs'!!

I was pretty darn pleased with how delicious these oven-baked Italian sausages turned out! I am never again going to bother browning sausages in a skillet again! No matter how hard I tried, even with a splatter guard, I’d always end up with grease splattered all over my kitchen.

To cook sausages in the oven, simply place sausages on a broiler pan and pierce each one a few times with a sharp knife. Bake at 400 (F) for 30 minutes. (It sure beats making a big mess!)

++ Line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil for an easy clean up

++ If you don’t own a broiler pan, line a cookie sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top. cooling rack

Place broiler pan containing sausages in a preheated 400(F) degree oven for 30 minutes. ++ Don’t forget to ‘prick’ the sausages at least on one side so the fat can drain out.

You can turn the sausages once, but it’s not necessary. I turned them the first time I tried this, the day before Christmas, but yesterday I forgot simply because I was on my computer .. checking on ‘My Yellow Farmhouse’.

*If you do turn the sausages, you might want to cook them a bit longer – until both sides are nicely browned and crisped, but its not necessary.

I prepared a spaghetti sauce last night with some of the oven baked Italian sausages (I use both sweet and hot.) I’m keeping some of the sauce for myself and sharing some with one of my neighbors. She’s Italian-American – I hope she likes it!!
