3 Mouthwatering Smothered Sausage and Eggs Recipes You’ll Crave

Smothered Sausage and Eggs

A hearty Southern-style dish featuring smoked sausage and hard-boiled eggs smothered in a flavorful Cajun-spiced sauce with onions and peppers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 14 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Peel the eggs and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned on both sides.
  3. Add sliced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and hot sauce, then stir well to combine and create a flavorful sauce.
  6. Add peeled boiled eggs to the skillet and spoon the seasoned sauce over the eggs.
  7. Let everything simmer for 5-7 minutes so the eggs absorb the flavor and the sauce slightly reduces.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce and red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
  • For extra flavor, let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
