    Baked Venison Sausages with Apples and Onions

    baked venison sausagesI have a love affair with sausages.

    Hmmm. That doesn’t sound right. I promise my mind isn’t in the gutter.

    Wait. Didn’t I say that about meatballs? Guess I have a thing for flavourful easy to eat meat. Especially if it’s game meat! Just stick a fork in me, I’m done!

    This Baked Venison Sausages with Apples & Onions recipe started as an “I need to throw something together and I’ve got thawed sausages” idea. I didn’t want our basic baked/pan fried sausages with rice and applesauce that night. No, no, no, Mama was craving something a little fancier on a dreary winter night.

    Baked Venison Sausages with Apples & Onions recipe delivers in a serious way. Flavourful sausages. Soft apples and onions, melding together in a perfect pan sauce that, naturally, I had to drizzle on rice. There isn’t one bit of this that you’ll regret.

    I’m sorry that the picture is only of the before, not after. But, Ce la Vie. It is what it is and the winter light is horrible at this time of year. Not conducive to good food photos!

    Instead, you can imagine it after it’s baked for half an hour and pulled out of the oven, steaming a wonderful aroma into your house. Mmmmm. I better pull out some sausages and make another pan…

    This recipe makes enough to feed 6-8. If that’s not your family, then split it between two pans and freeze one for later. Or, gift it to a friend, which is what we did with our second pan, along with a container of rice and a container of salad. Food is my love language and my ministry!

    As always, if you don’t have wild game sausages, substitute with your favourite domestic meat such as beef, pork or chicken sausages! I used Venison Sicilian, which is a fennel seeds and red wine sausage. I think most any sausage variety would go well here, sweet, spicy, breakfast, chorizo, italian, you name it!

      What kind of apples do you suggest? I have Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, would either be better/worse? Also, what kind of onions? I’m assuming yellow but would red onions work as well or better? I wonder if the red onions would be too much sweetness in combination with that of the apples. Thanks!

      I tried your recipe with some large venison sausages. It was delicious! I had to change the cooking time (they took about an hour). I added grainy mustard to the honey and apple cider vinegar. It was very tasty! Thanks!

      Best venison sausage recipe ever! I had 2 raw colored bell peppers left over so added them and also fried up some bacon bits which gave dish extra zing! Going to share recipe with my family members that are hunters. Great job Kate! Edith Hardee
