• If the sausages are frozen, thaw them before baking.
• Turn the sausages at least once while baking them. This will ensure that they are baked evenly.
• Check to make sure the sausages are cooked properly before serving them. The temperature should be 165 degrees F. The sausage should be browned through with no pink in the center.
• If you have leftovers cool them completely and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
