Best Sausage Recipes For Every Occasion
Every year is full of holidays and opportunities for gathering with family and friends. From holiday parties and big game days to seasonal gatherings, there are tons of ways you can get creative in the kitchen with different types of sausage recipes. You can choose between savory and spicy and create unique dishes using some of your favorite ingredients. Here are some of our favorite recipes you can use throughout the year to impress your friends and family. Remember to cook your sausage to a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit!
1. Sausage Wontons
Sausage wontons are perfect when you want an easy recipe that delivers a satisfying crunch. You can create this dish with a few simple ingredients or load it with all your favorites. Grab a few vegetables, like shredded carrots and red bell peppers, and chop them into very tiny pieces. Load the wonton with your sausage mixture and shape the papers to make fun shapes. You can also create traditional Asian recipes with a delicious mix of Chinese brand sausage.
2. Italian Sausage Sandwiches
Warm weather calls for fresh foods on the grill. Memorial Day, Labor Day and Fourth of July parties often feature a collection of delectable finger foods that encourage people to keep filling their plates. You can use Italian sausage to create finger-licking sandwiches with more flavor than traditional summer party offerings. For extra variety, you can also use chicken sausage to make delectable burgers. Provide a variety of toppings like ketchup, mustard, relish, shredded cheese and onion so guests can pair the sausage with their favorite flavors.
3. Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms
If you’re looking for a savory appetizer, sausage-stuffed mushrooms are the way to go. This recipe only takes about an hour from start to finish, making it easy to bring to any occasion. The blend of sausage, mushroom, cheese and seasonings creates a tender, delicious dish that impresses every guest.
4. Sausage Balls
This dish is excellent as an appetizer or alongside rice or mashed potatoes. Make a simple and savory sausage recipe with just flour, eggs, salt and water, or sweeten things up by adding apples, cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup. You can also make the sweet variety look even better by adding caramelized pecans as a topping.
5. Sausage Sheet Pan
The best sausage recipes for fall often feature seasonal vegetables and hearty fillings. For a simple dish for a large group, you can use a sheet pan recipe to satisfy cravings in no time at all. Simply grab your favorite seasonal vegetables, seasonings and sausage. Chop everything into bite-sized pieces and cook the dish in the oven. You can also add potatoes and cheese to incorporate a few more food groups.
6. Sausage Dip
Game day enthusiasts can indulge in the unique flavors of sausage dip. You can pack this dip with some of your favorite foods and serve it with a variety of chips, crackers, breads and veggies. Combine cream cheese and your favorite types of sausage for a unique flavor combination. Load the bowl with green chiles for a hot, spicy bite. For a mix of sweet and savory, you can prepare the dip with green peppers, tomatoes, banana peppers and your favorite seasonings.
7. Mac and Cheese
One of the most versatile dishes out there is mac and cheese. Many people have reimagined this classic dish by adding a variety of vegetables, sauces and meat. This sausage mac and cheese can warm you in the winter while reviving a tried-and-true meal. The combination of bacon and sausage adds a savory and filling taste, while the gooey goodness of the cheese melts the dish together.
8. Enchiladas With Sausage and Squash
Another fall or winter classic recipe is enchiladas. This comfort food offers a ton of variety and is pretty easy to make. Our enchiladas with butternut squash and sausage offer a heartwarming option for any gathering. It only takes about 10 minutes and a 400-degree oven to cook this dish, making it excellent for preparing the night before a big event and popping it in the oven when it’s time to eat.
9. Grilled Sausage and Veggie Bowl
When you want a light recipe for the spring, you don’t have to sacrifice the goodness of a meal. A sausage and veggie bowl can be a delicious way to spend your lunch or dinner outside enjoying the beautiful weather. You can use ingredients like broccoli and kale or add your favorite fresh foods into the mix for a flavorful rice bowl that keeps you full and satisfied.
10. Avocado Boats With Sausage

11. Sausage Waffle Fries
Whether you want to indulge after a big win or offer a satisfying side dish, fries are a tried-and-true option. Although regular fries can do the job, why not go all out with loaded waffle fries? BLT sausage waffle fries feature fresh ingredients and a crispy crunch. You can make your own waffle fries by using a slicer on fresh potatoes or opt for a frozen bag for an easy meal you can replicate every time you’re craving it.
12. Sausage Stuffing
If stuffing appears in many of your go-to holiday recipes, it may be time to add some more flavor. Savory sausage stuffing calls for pepper, cranberries, pine nuts and more to create a unique, savory dish. You can cook your sausage in the oven at 325 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes for a warm holiday meal everyone will love.
13. Hot Chili
Whether you’re looking for a new fall favorite or a tasty recipe to keep warm on rainy days, chili offers the hearty goodness you need.
