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 red onions , each cut into 8 wedges
- 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)
- Oil spray (optional)
Gravy
- 2 tbsp / 30g melted butter, unsalted
- 2 1/2 tbsp flour (plain / all purpose)

- Fresh thyme , for garnish (optional)
Instructions

- 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!
You know, when I’m looking for dinner inspiration with anything and I see Recipe Tin Eats come up it feels like coming home! I know it’s gonna be amazing and am instantly relaxed because the only problem I’ll have is never having leftovers for my lunch the next day!
That’s the BEST Ann!! Thanks so much 🙂 N x
Wow, smells soooo good and tastes wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
You’re so welcome Kathleen! N x
Tasty though gravy was very pale and had to thicken it on the cooktop
Hi Julie, sorry you had issues here – the colour could be due to the stock used. Sometimes I like to make mine a little more rich with a splash of dark soy (will give you a great colour in the gravy too) N x
A quarantine dinner. Made this with one addition of brussel sprouts. It was delicious and would make again. Thanks Nagi!
Perfect Sandy! N x
OMG this was amazingly easy! The family loved it. Woot! Thank you very much Nagi!
You’re so welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! N x
Forgot to give it 5 stars
I Love Love this recipe!!! So simple , I’ve made it for numerous unexpected guests since I always have sausages in the freezer. I’ve also added cherry tomatoes the last 10 minutes of cook time and I do turn the broiler on the last 3 minutes to brown and crisp up the sausages. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes
Love the ease recipes. When cooking do I need to cover with foil?
Hi Matthew, no need to cover with foil 🙂 N x
Hi!!! Thank you so much for this recipe it was SOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! I have one question tho: my sausages never ended up browning like yours. I kept it in the oven for about 1 hour and 5 mins. The veggies were perfectly roasted and the sausage was great-just not browned. Is it because I used bratwurst?
So easy to make and so delicious.
I used basic sausages and the gravy was so tasty
Super Kate 🙌
This is absolutely a winner for feeding three adult men in my home (hubby, and sons, 29 & 23). Gravy turned out beautifully! Thanks for a great recipe.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Does it freeze well?
Hi Caroline, this one doesn’t freeze well unfortunately – better to have fresh 🙂 N x
Thanks, Nagi 🙂
Making this for the 3rd time. We love this… so easy, so good. Last time I made it I added some mushrooms… so yummy. I will always make with the shrooms now… I have shared this recipe with my mother as my dad loves sausages… he is a picky eater… but dad approved!! Lol
Nagi- another winner! So easy and so yummy! Thankyou!
I really like most of your recipes. Is there a way that we could have the ones we like stored in a file so we can locate favourites quickly? The Taste site has one and I can find the one I want really fast. Thanks
Hi Penny, if you click the heart at the bottom right of the screen, it will save to a favourites folder for you 🙂 N x
Hi Nagi, sounds delicious but I am out of flour. Do you know any good substitutes?
Hi Lisa, you need the flour to thicken the gravy – do you have corn flour? N x
Yes I do! Will give it a go, thanks 🙂
I cooked this tonight because our 5 year old requested sausages for dinner and it was perfect. We LOVE all of your recipes. Thank you Nagi!
You’re so welcome Shayden!! N x
Hi Nagi, I made this recipe last night and it was so yummy! We had a family video call late afternoon so I prepared it earlier and just popped it in the fridge to cook later. So easy and convenient but also super tasty. Your recipes are honestly the best!
Perfect Natalie! N x

We have just finished eating this delicious meal. Yummo.
I put in, potato, sweet potato, carrot, spinach, mushrooms, capsicum, garlic and onion. I used Honey flavoured sausages and added a dash of wine to the gravy. So easy.
