If you're looking for an easy smoked appetizer that delivers big BBQ flavor with almost no prep, this Smoked Sausage Roll is it. This simple recipe takes a sausage roll, coats it generously with BBQ seasoning, and lets the smoker do all the work.
Smoking the sausage low and slow gives it plenty of time to absorb that delicious smoky flavor. Once the sausage reaches about 145°F, we brush it with your favorite BBQ sauce and let it continue smoking until it reaches about 160°F.
Slice it up, serve it with extra BBQ sauce, and you've got an easy appetizer that's perfect for game day, backyard BBQs, parties, or a quick snack.
