How to Make Big Ol Mess Smoked Sausage In Spicy Sweet Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), and salt.
  2. Add the smoked sausages to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or campfire to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the sausages for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and the sauce has caramelized slightly. If cooking over a campfire, use a grill grate or a sturdy pan to prevent the sausages from falling into the embers.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider serving with your favorite sides, like coleslaw, corn on the cob, or potato salad.
