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.

Oven Baked Sausages with Potatoes, Vegetable AND Gravy!
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 700g / 1.4 lb baby potatoes , halved
- 3 carrots , peeled and cut into 2″/5cm pieces
- 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)
- 2 cups / 500 ml beef broth (or chicken) (Note 3)
- Fresh thyme , for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan / convection).
- 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!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Brilliant one pan meal
I work seven days a week and have to cook for myself and my wife. This was a great find. Only change I made was to add a beef oxo cube to the gravy mixture. We both had seconds.
Added leek and a splash of Woistershire sauce to the gravy. 200 for 1 hour 10 min. So good 👌🏼
Delicious! The ultimate comfort food! And very simple to make lots and freeze.
Delicious!! My whole family ate and loved this which is an absolute win. We will be making this many times again I am sure.
So good!! I’m a newbie to your website and made this for my family of 3, copied the recipie exactly and there was enough for leftover vegetables so just cooked more sausages today and re-heated. Just as good the second time! Definitely gonna hang around here for more delicious and easy recipes!
I made this, halved, as it’s just me….no carrots but had sweet potatoes… IT WAS DELICIOUS! I turned the sausages a few times. It took about 90 minutes to get where I liked it. But so good! And as you said, minimal effort! Thank you so much, I will make this again!!
Made this for dinner last night. Loved every mouthful and have enough left over for dinner tonight😉. Thank you for your beautiful and tasty recipes.
Make this quiet often now, usually use any vegetables that i have at the end of the week, it’s a winner here 😀
I’m making this today and wondered if you cover the pan with foil or a lid ?
This meal is tasty, but not healthy. It’s high in fat and sodium. I’ve made it twice – tonight because it’s a snow day and I need to shop. Next time I will try some turkey or chicken sausage.
Hi Nagi!
Oven Baked Sausages with Potatoes, Vegetable and Gravy does it require 180°c Fan Forced or 160°c Fan Forced? TIA!
Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe and will do it again. I used it as an excuse to use up some veg, i.e., mushrooms and cherry tomatoes
Tick of approval from my six picky children!
They even liked the red onion, which was a first for most of them.
The potatoes took longer to cook than the 50mins in my oven; I substituted instant gravy mix (sorry to scandalise anyone), since we had no stock or broth. After an hour in the oven, the gravy was significantly reduced, so I added another half cup of gravy before returning to the oven for an extra 30mins.
If you are using thin sausages, I would suggest putting them in after cooking the veggies for 30-45mins, or chopping the potatoes into smaller chunks.
Otherwise, use nice fat sausages.
Sooooo much yum! This will definitely be a regular on our house. Only change I made was to add 1 Tbsp of maggi gravy & only 1.5 of flour. The flavour in this dish is so good. I’m in looooove!
Been making this for years and have one in the oven now (a sausage bake that is) Have mastered the size of the veggies (a golf ball is small after all). This time I have just added aparagus for last 20 mins to save washing up!!
This is really good. I used chicken bouillon and honey garlic sausage. And had homemade bread. Yumm
I made this for the family and it went down a treat. Can’t beat a one pot dish Didn’t have to make any changes to the recipe.
OMG! Nagi thank you for, yet another, very yummy & easy recipe. It was absolutely delicious 😋 the only thing I varied (and that’s only because I’m from Italian heritage) I doubled….maybe tripled the garlic! 😆 it just happens with ALL recipes I have no control! Great way to cook sausage rather than frying & less messy. And the gravy, oh wow, so, so good and thickened up nicely. You are the best lovely lady.x
I have this in the oven right now and it smells AMAZING! I cut the potatoes a bit bigger so it’s going to cook for an hour but I just flipped the sausages and the gravy is thickening up nicely!
I added whole mushies, a good decision & all purpose seasoning salt, tick. Also used corn flour bc more friends are GF these days
