Equipment

- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 8 sausages (pork, beef, or chicken)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons water (optional, for steaming)
Ingredient Notes
- Sausages: Choose high-quality sausages for the best flavor. Keto lovers can use sugar-free, low-carb sausages.
- Oil: Olive oil adds a rich flavor, while butter gives a golden, crisp crust.
- Optional Seasoning: Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Pan
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
Step 2: Cook the Sausages
Place sausages in the pan in a single layer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, turning frequently until evenly browned.
Step 3: Steam (Optional)
If sausages start browning too quickly, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover with a lid, and let steam for 3–5 minutes. This helps cook them through without burning.

Step 4: Check Doneness
Ensure sausages are fully cooked — the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 5: Serve
Remove from pan and let rest for a minute. Serve hot with mustard, mashed potatoes, or eggs.
