Tips:

• For the best flavor, use hot sausage.

• Sausage links may be cheaper than ground. Save money by getting the links and remove meat from casings.

• For extra BBQ flavor, omit the salt and pepper and add your favorite BBQ seasoning.

• Get creative! Don't want to run the oven on a hot day? Cook these on your grill at 300º adjusting cooking times as needed.
