Sweet & Messy Barbecue Sausage Recipe
Sweet and Messy Barbecue Sausage is a family favorite.

We eat lots of grilled chicken with various marinades.  We love grilled chicken, but this grilled sausage gives us a very needed reprieve from the chicken.

Sweet & Messy Barbecue Sausage is the taste of summer!

This is so easy.  I just took Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce which is our favorite and added brown sugar before coating my smoked turkey sausage on the grill with a basting brush.  This really couldn’t be any easier if I tried.

You'll need wet napkins with your dinner tonight. Sweet & Messy BBQ sausage is worth it.

My recipe is designed to feed teenage boys… teenage boys who love this sausage.  As such, it is probably overkill for most families.  I cooked 3 packages of smoke turkey sausage (13 oz each).  In addition to giving the exact measurements I used, I would like to point out that I used a 3:2 ratio of BBQ sauce to brown sugar.  I used 3/4 cup BBQ sauce and 1/2 (2/4) cup of brown sugar.  You could easily use 3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce to 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (or 6 tablespoons to 4 tablespoons) to scale back the recipe.  I had a little sauce left over but I might have used that too if I hadn’t been talking to my husband.

Sweet Baby Ray's makes this messy BBQ sausage extra delicious.

I prefer my sausage cut into quarters.  I first cut each sausage in the middle then split each half long wise. I like the way it cooks up and gets more coverage from the sauce in this way.  The sausages flip up and curl which gives me some bizarre satisfaction.

Sweet & Messy Barbecue Sausage is the perfect meal for your next barbecue or weekday dinner.
