Baked Sausage

The easiest way to cook sweet Italian sausage

Preheat oven to 350

Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil (this is to aid cleanup - skip if you prefer)

Puncture casing of each sausage with fork or knife slit and arrange on cookie sheet so they are not touching.

Cook 45 minutes - you *should* turn them at least once, but I forget to do this all the time and they come out fine.

Guiness Sausage

I pulled out the electric skillet (love using this for sausage and peppers!), brushed some olive oil on the surface and heated it to 350. I added 8 sausages and let them brown for a few minutes on each side, having poked them with a knife a few times before adding them. Once browned I added some Guinness to the pan and clamped the lid on (not a lot – probably about ½ cup, but I eyeballed it … wanted to save the majority of it for drinking!) It was amazing! The beer caramelized and really made those sausages stand out! I may use Guinness to cook sausage all of the time, that is how tasty they were!
