Cooking sausages in the oven with vegetables is a quick dinner you can throw together in mere minutes. The bonus is that this Sausage Bake comes with gravy, and it’s all made in one pan!
Bonus: the gravy gets an extra flavour boost from all the sausage and vegetable drippings. This sausage recipe is a game changer!
Sausage Bake – One Pan Meal!
I have a rule about sausages. Sausages for dinner must always be accompanied with gravy – here’s how I make it on the stove: Sausages and Gravy.
So I’ve made a sausage, veggie and gravy dinner super easy by making it all in one pan.
Yes, you heard me right. This Sausage Bake is all made in ONE PAN. YES those golden brown sausages and roasted vegetables are sitting on a pool of gravy that was cooked right in the oven along with them!!
Cooking sausages in the oven
Cooking sausages in the oven is easy: just bake sausages at 180C/350F for 40 to 50 minutes until browned, turning halfway. It’s a terrific hands off, less mess alternative to pan frying.
The sausages will actually be cooked through at 30 minutes or so, but they won’t be nicely browned. Browning = flavour, and sausages are meant to be browned! Because sausages are enclosed in casing, they don’t dry out with a slightly longer cook time.
So keep them in the oven until they are nicely browned, as shown in the photos in this post!
How to cook Sausages in the oven with vegetables and gravy
Toss vegetables and potatoes in oil, salt, pepper and a touch of dried herbs of choice (I use thyme and oregano). Place in the pan, then top with sausages.
Whisk up the gravy – it’s made using the same ingredients required in a standard gravy that’s made on the stove. Stock, flour, butter, seasoning.
Except rather than cooking it on the stove, we pour it right into the pan so it bubbles away at the same time the sausages and vegetables are cooking.
By the time the sausages and vegetables are done, the gravy has thickened and is beautifully browned, just like when it’s made on the stove like in this Sausages and Gravy recipe!
Quick Dinner Idea – in one pan!
This is a super tasty and quick dinner to make, but I’m not applauding myself for creating a ground breaking recipe of any kind. Because when you think about it, this Sausage Bake is pretty much made like a stew. The sauce – gravy in this case – is thickened with flour, just like when making a stew.
And the vegetables and meat are cooked together in the sauce – except in this case, I deliberately put the sausages on top so they get nice and brown.

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper
Sausages
- 8 – 10 sausages (500-700g / 1-1.4lb) (Note 2)

- Place Vegetable ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
- Add sausages and toss briefly.
- Transfer into roasting pan. Pan should be of a size so the vegetables are stacked about 2 deep – see photos and video. Rearrange sausages so they are on top.
Gravy
- In the same bowl used for the vegetables, add butter and flour. Whisk.
- Add a bit of beef broth and whisk, then whisk in remaining broth. (Don’t worry if you end up with some floating butter bits)
- Pour down the side of the pan (don’t pour over the sausages or veggies).
- Optional: Spray sausages with oil – browns slightly better (especially lean sausages).
Baking
- Bake 25 minutes. Turn sausages. Spray again with oil (optional) then bake for a further 25 minutes or until sausages are browned and potatoes are soft.
- Serve Sausages and Vegetables with Gravy on top, garnished with fresh thyme leaves if desired. (See notes for Gravy thickness adjustment)

Life of Dozer
The sight of a suitcase always distresses him. So I tried to trick him by piling up my luggage in a washing basket, planning to throw it into a suitcase at the last minute. Just so I wouldn’t have to deal with his forlorn face all night.
Didn’t work. He figured it out.😞
And the original photo from when I first published this recipe which was around Christmas: Dozer sulking. He really, really hates Christmas!
This recipe looks wonderful! Can’t wait to try it out 🙂 I also like I can easily adapt it for my gluten-free diet!
Btw, I totally feel your pain when it comes to the luggage coming out and our furry friends getting saddened by it. Our dog also does the same thing but he gets super anxious and whines at me. Just like you, it always breaks my heart!
I know, right?? Those forlorn eyes! It’s a killer! 😢
The sausage recipe looks great …..could you use vegetarian sausages?
Absolutely! As long as they cook in around the same time as meat sausages – if they cook in the same time on the stove, then they should be the same in the oven 🙂 N x
It’s march 2018 time does fly..your recipe for sausage and vegetable arrived 1 day late😯 we did the Italian style of sausage and peppers for Sunday family dinner..I like your recipe so I will make it soon..have fun in NEW ZEALAND. .
DOZER and LUCA have such.similar personalities. Whenever we are going someplace he has that same wistful “what! are you leaving again” look.😳
The older I get, the faster time is flying! Gillian!!! How can I slow down 2018??!!!🙀
Nagi you have nothing to worry about time flying my time is whizzing by me at rapid speed I turn 70 this may 2018 and still full of fun and energy so you GO GIRL and keep us full of your wonderful recipes and travel stories and happy stuff of DOZER I look forward for our updates in Toronto Canada 💖🍷
Another superb recipe – dinner and leftovers-best ever flavours thanks again Nagi and Merry Christmas
That’s so great to hear Kym! Thanks for letting me know – N x ❤️
This beauty worked so well for a mid week dinner; I made it last night BUT I cut up the veges etc the previous night so the herbs would hug the veges and sausages overnight.
All I did when I came home from work was whack on the oven, make the gravy then toss everything on top.
How easy is that?
The flavours were so good and the gravy definitely had the wow factor with the meat juices dripping.
Awesome Nagi, simply awesome!
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this Barb!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. N x ❤️

I am LOVING your website and simple recipes.
I made your Greek Chicken and rice and my husband loved it so much he requested it to be put in our rotation of meals.
I have been on your website off and on and this sausage and vegetable dish is a must try. I honestly love all of your recipes and wanted to let you know you have a fan in Upstate NY State.
Thanks you Carl! Isn’t technology a wonderful thing, that I can share recipes from all the way Down Under in Sydney to you in Upstate NY??! N x
Hi Nagi, well I got the sausages and made it for dinner and we loved it, I will make it again for sure thank you for lovely recipes so so glad I found your site.

Hi Nagi, the one pan dish looks lovely, it is funny how I am going to buy snags tomorrow and came across this dish I will have to make it for dinner tomorrow night.
Cathy
Awesome! I do hope you try it – and enjoy it!! 🙂
Just made this, so easy and very tasty! The only change I made was that I used some home made Lamb stock that I had on hand, I think any stock would work well.
Thanks for the recipe!
Yay!! I am so glad you loved this Amy, thank you for letting me know! N xx

Awesome recipe! Tried it 2 days ago, my guests love it!
WOO HOO!! So glad you enjoyed it Gina!! N x
Hi. Love your blog. I was wondering what size pan you used to make this recipe. It is in the oven and smells so good. I seem to have more liquid bubbling. Thanks for sharing such scrumptious recipes and photos.
Hi Connie! My pan is 34cm x 22cm (about 13″ x 9″). It should reduce down! Remember this isn’t a super thick gravy like the traditional one, it’s a thinner sauce-like gravy 🙂
Made this last night, and it is so so good 🙂 Thanks for another great recipe Nagi 🙂
YAY!! So glad you loved it Margaret, thanks for letting me know! N x
I made this tonight and it was delicious. I loved the gravy. The vegetables tasted so good. The only thing I did different was I used turkey kielbasa. I love your recipes. Thank you.
I’m so glad Beth! Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it! N x
Poor Dozer. i might have to call the RSPCA!. Great lazy idea indeedy . Santa bought me a camera too but he sure didnt bring me any more time to do that editing!

You’re a genius! Sausages AND gravy AND roasties in one tray. Love it. Dozer looks a bit over it though bless him 🙂
He got lobster shortly after this photo was taken, so let’s not feel TOO sorry for him!!! 😉
Yum I love sausages with vegetables and gravy. Looks so easy – I am going to definitely give this a try soon! Thanks for sharing Nagi!
