Easy Sausage Traybake

Quick, delicious and family friendly this Easy Sausage Traybake is the perfect midweek meal. Throw everything into one tray and cook for 45 minutes – what could be simpler?

Easy Sausage Traybake

This Easy Sausage Traybake is one of those ‘I can’t believe it’s not on the blog’ recipes. It’s a real Gargano family favourite, not least because it is seriously low effort!!

Simply throw sausages, new potatoes, peppers and onions into a large oven tray / roasting tin, add a little salt and pepper, some herbs, garlic and a splash of oil. Then pop it all in the oven to do its thing for 45 minutes.

Easy Sausage Traybake

The result? Deliciously cooked sausages (soooo much better than fried or grilled), crispy new potatoes, sweet roasted peppers and onions and a very happy family – this is one of those meals I KNOW the kids will eat without complaint.

Easy Sausage Traybake

It’s also the perfect meal for cooking when I know Mr G is going to be late back. I simply put his portion (cooked) in an oven proof bowl, then he pops it in the oven for 15-20 minutes to reheat when he gets back – happy hubby!

And the same logic can be applied to leftovers (if you have any). I often make extra of this Easy Sausage Traybake so I can have it  for my lunch the next day. It’s like having a homemade ready meal!

Easy Sausage Traybake

This recipe is actually an adaptation of Mary Berry’s Roasted Sausage Supper, but I’ve been cooking it for so long it’s been adapted many times, so apart from the basic ingredients it bears little resemblance to her original recipe.

This Easy Sausage Traybake is also the recipe which began my love affair with traybakes (in case you are new round here, I am obsessed with traybakes as being one of the easiest, quickest and most delicious ways to cook), which makes it all the more ridiculous that I haven’t yet shared it with you all!

Easy Sausage Traybake

Still, I have now 😀 Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!

Wine -wise, this Easy Sausage Traybake goes brilliantly with gutsy Southern French reds, young riojas and other similar wines. If you prefer white, this goes surprisingly well with Sauvignon Blanc.

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 good quality sausages (the nice big ones, I usually use Tesco Finest Traditional Pork)
  • 400 g new potatoes halved (or quartered if very big)
  • 3 red/yellow/orange peppers cut into large chunks
  • 2 red onions cut into thick wedges
  • 8 cloves garlic bashed with skins still on
  • 3 sprigs thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper
  • 300 ml hot chicken stock (optional - if you want a sauce)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
  • Place all the ingredients (except the chicken stock) in a large oven tray or roasting tin.
  • Use your hands (or two large spoons) to turn everything in the oil, so it is well coated. Rearrange everything on the tray in one layer.
  • Place the tray in the oven for 25 minutes.
  • After 25 minutes remove the tray from the oven, turn the sausages and pour over the chicken stock. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until everything is done to your liking (45 minutes total cooking time).

Notes

It’s really important the ingredients are well spread out in the tray. If you don’t own a large baking tray, use two smaller ones. If you do use two trays, increase the amount of chicken stock to 400ml.
To reheat, place leftovers in an ovenproof bowl, in an oven preheated to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are piping hot all the way through.
Not suitable for freezing (except the cooked sausages on their own ARE suitable for freezing).

    I love sausage tray bakes! The idea of adding stock for a sauce is fantastic, I’ve not seen that before x

      Me too. We have them all the time. Monday is traybake night in our house!! I love the stock as it makes a kind of gravy, well not exactly a gravy, more a ‘jus’ but it’s just perfect to go with this. Mary Berry adds white wine, but I prefer chicken stock (and keep the white wine for drinking!) Eb x

    I think a sausage traybake is such a great midweek meal. I’ve got a recipe that I often make and it always goes down well, although the kids tend to mainly eat the sausages and leave the vegetables! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice!

    Fairly basic and quite easy. However, the potatoes sadly cannot hope to get crispy.

      Hi Emma, thanks for this feedback. I am sorry to hear your potatoes did not go crispy. It is definitely possible – mine always are! What you see in the photos is exactly how mine come out – no camera tricks, I promise!! I can think of two things which might have gone wrong for you… Most likely is that your oven tray was not large enough – this means the potatoes steam rather than roast. I would suggest, if you try this again, you use a bigger tray or split this between two smaller ones. The other possibility is that your oven is a bit on the cool side (all ovens vary!). If this is the case, I suggest you turn your oven up a notch. Hope that helps! Eb 🙂

    Hi do you remove the garlic once cooked as it still has skin on it? Thank x

    Reply
    • Eb Gargano says

      4th November 2019 at 10:53 am

      OK, so you have two options here. Option 1 is what I usually do… I leave the skins on and serve them up on the plates for my family to take the skins off themselves (Personally I like to mash my garlic clove with the back of my fork and then mix it in to everything else… but my daughter likes to eat the garlic cloves whole!) Option 2 would be to remove the garlic skins before serving up and then either serve the garlic cloves whole or mash them and mix into the rest of the traybake before serving up… It really depends on how much time you have and your serving preferences. All ways taste good! Eb 🙂

    An absolute winner in my house. I will be making this a lot when I go back to work and have a lunch everyone will be jealous of!

    One question, do you think this recipe will work with chicken rather than sausages?

      18th May 2020 at 11:15 am

      Yay! I am so happy to hear that! Yes, it will work with chicken… chicken thighs/legs (with skin on and bone in) work best in traybakes… just follow the recipe as written, but no need to turn the chicken… so actually even easier! I have quite a few other chicken traybakes on Easy Peasy Foodie if you want to try some different ones… just search ‘chicken traybake’ and they’ll all come up. Eb 🙂

    Used Linda McCartney plant based sausages and veg stock. Delicious and will make again but next time I might do as Mary Berrry and add white wine instead of stock.

      Aaah – good to hear this worked well with Linda McCartney sausages! Let me know what you think if you do try it with white wine… personally I prefer the stock version, but we all have different tastes, so I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on how they compare. And thanks for the 5 stars! Eb 🙂

    Great recipe, I usually make chicken tray bakes but we love this traybake, my husband loves gravy/sauce so I add 450 mls chicken stock. I mix a teaspoon of cornflour with a teaspoon of water and stir this in for last 5 minutes of cooking. I sometimes add small can of drained butter beans at halfway mark as again my husband loves them.

    This recipe was SO easy and delicious! Never in my life would I have thought to add broth to a tray bake, but it made everything the perfect texture! Not to crunchy, not too soft. We love sausage but I have trouble getting it to cook evenly in a pan. This is going to be a new go-to!

    This is a great recipe, but I like to change it up quite a bit. I like to add carrots, I boil the potatoes and carrots together first for 12 mins to get them nice and soft in the middle.

    Also, in of stock, I add gravy granules with red current jelly and red wine to make it a nice thick gravy. It’s gorgeous and like a Sunday roast. With the potatoes, I roast them separately and add them to the veg with three gravy at the end so it’s all nice and crispy and serve with yorkshire puds.

    I’m from yorkshire, so this is perfect for me!

    This is a wonderful recipe. I finished eating it in 10mins! Added carrots (as someone did in one of your comments). The whole thing was soooo easy to do and soooo delicious.
    I am now looking up your chicken traybakes. Can’t wait until next Saturday to do one.
    I think I will become a traybake fiend.
