Ingredients

24 Breakfast Sausages (1 kg or 2¼ lbs) cut in half
1 cup Tomato Sauce
½ cup Ketchup
½ cup Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons Dried Onion Flakes or 1 small diced Shallot
2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Curry Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Allspice
14 oz Peaches canned with syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F, and in a large deep oven-safe frying pan, brown the breakfast sausages. Work in batches, taking care not to not over crowd the pan. After all of the sausages are browned, add them all back into the pan and set aside.
While the sausages are browning, make the sweet and sour sauce by adding the tomato sauce, ketchup, maple syrup, onion flakes, white vinegar, chili powder, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and allspice into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk the sweet and sour sauce until it is fully combined, and then stir in the can of peaches.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the browned sausages, stirring to coat them fully with the sauce. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Serve over rice, and with roasted broccoli for a full meal.

Notes

If you don't have a large oven-safe frying pan, brown the sausages in a regular frying pan and transfer them to a large 9x13 casserole dish for baking.
You can use any type of sausage for this recipe: turkey breakfast sausage, beef sausage, or Italian sausages are all good options. If you are using larger sausages, cut them down into bite-sized pieces.
The peaches can be substituted for pineapple chunks.
Maple syrup can be substituted for granulated sugar.
There are a variety of ways to prepare these sweet and sour sausages. See these instructions for slow cooker, instant pot or stovetop directions.
To make a thicker sweet and sour sauce, prepare a slurry of 2 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 Tablespoons of water and add it to the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Prepared sweet and sour sausages can be frozen for up to 2 months.
