7 Reviews of Big Ol' Mess (Smoked Sausage in Spicy Sweet Sauce)

From: mjmougs

On Feb 10, 2009

I have this cookbook and have done this recipe many times and it is always a hit. One of my favorite things is that it is so easy to play with. I have used different sausages (spicy, sweet, etc. ), different hot sauces (Tobascco, Red Hot), and my favorite different peppers for a different kick (Habanero, etc.) This is easy and great. I have also done this in a crock-pot when when I am not grilling. Great Recipe

    I used alot more hot sauce and I also think it would be 5 stars if I had used a yellow onion so I will make it again like that.

    We love this and eat it like every weekend. We toss in carrots and potatoes and whole onions also.

    Delicious and simple to make. I prepared this the day before, then tossed it in the cooler for the camping trip. Tossed the whole thing on the grate that evening and it was delicious. Will definitely use this recipe again, thanks for posting!

    Tried this last weekend on the charcoal grill, was tasty, but a little to sweet for my family, we give it a 4.5 star rating. I will add more hot sauce to offset the sweet next time. Thanks for posting this Pat!

    I stumbled on to this recipe after trying to figure out what to do with a pound of chipotle-flavored smoked sausage a friend gave me a couple days ago. I didn't have any jars of sweet and sour sauce, so I used #350238 from here on the site, and set out to create my own sensational sweet and sour smoked sausage skillet (say that 5 times fast). I used Tiger sauce added to said recipe for sauce and thinned it out a bit for your dish, I also used a can of pineapple chunks toward the end and left out the jalapenos since I had none, and served the mess over rice. It was pretty good stuff, better than I expected in fact. I will definitely keep this one around for that next camping trip where I bet it will taste even better. Thanks for sharing.
