This Devilled Sausages Recipe is the ultimate comfort food. Cooked in one pan with a rich and spicy tomato sauce, quick dinners have never tasted so good!
If you haven’t tried devilled sausages before you’re in for a treat! For those of you who have, but use store bought packet mixes, then you’re also in for a treat because these are 10000x times better 🙂 (just saying).
What are Devilled Sausages?
Devilled sausages are essentially a quick sausage casserole in a sweet, spicy and slightly sticky sauce. They’re often cooked in one pan in a rich tomatoey/beefy sauce and served with fruit such as apples, pears or currants.
Devilled sausages are the answer to your week night dinners. Quick, easy and a good excuse to use up some cupboard staples.
Finding a traditional devilled sausage recipe is pretty tricky, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen the same recipe twice! So, here I offer you my version!
Devilled Sausages Ingredients
- Pork Sausages
- Beef Stock + Cornstarch (Cornflour)
- Chopped Tomatoes
- Onion
- Apple
- Garlic
- Mustard
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Smoked Paprika
- Cayenne Pepper
- Thyme
How to make Devilled Sausages
- Fry up your sausages until browned and just cooked through. Remove from pan.
- Fry your onion & apple until golden, add your garlic to fry for a further minute, then pour in your beef stock + cornstarch and chopped tomatoes.
- Add your smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (to taste), mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme and seasoning and simmer until thickened and the sausages are cooked throughout.
Yup, that simple!
Devilled sausages in the slow cooker are also a great idea! You can even sub the pork sausages with veggie sausages to make a hearty vegetarian meal too.
What to serve with Devilled Sausages
For me it’s always gotta be a nice dollop of creamy mashed potatoes. Bangers and mash is such a glorious combo and adding a rich tomatoey sauce to the equation is just a foodgasm waiting to happen.
I’ve also eaten these with rice before which works perfectly and for a low carb option consider using adding cauliflower rice!
Either way, a nice sprinkle of fresh parsley looks and tastes fab 🙂
So for a new meal to add to your rotation dinners give these yummy devilled sausages a go! Whether you’ve tried them before or have never heard of them, you’re bound to fall in love with this delicious homemade version!

I’ve been making this recipe of yours for the last 2 and a bit years. It actually gets requested by the picky eaters! I’m not allowed to use the packet mix anymore and that works for me because this is so much better! I usually use just thin beef sausages and double it, and leave out the cayenne because I’m a heat sook lol. Thank you!!
That’s so amazing to hear! So pleased you all enjoy the recipe. Thanks so much for the review! C.
Would the leftovers be freezable? Or would the apples just turn to mush?
My fear is the apple might get mushy, but you could certainly give it a go! C.
This was an absolute banger (pun intended)!
My partner really doesn’t do sweet with savoury but even she ate this and went back for more. It’s sort of barbecue-saucy, very easy to cook and absolutely delicious. I can definitely see the bairns getting into this when they’re a bit older.
I was feeling a bit rice-y so went for microwave golden veg rice as the accompaniment. Great no fuss dinner.
I love this recipe, quite tangy with a bit of heat to it and very flavoursome! Will never use a packet mix again. I only had beef sausages and for the two of us the amount of sauce was plentiful and lovely with mashed potato. Yum, one to have on rotation for sure!
Toni, so happy to hear this goes down well! Thanks so much for the review 🙂 C.
