Ingredients
  

  • 8 links Beef sausages Thick style, high quality
  • 2 large Red onions Thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Divided use
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar Packed
  • 1 tbsp Whole grain mustard
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves Optional
  • 1/4 cup Beef broth Or water, if needed to loosen sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or roasting pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Place the beef sausages on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Arrange them in a single layer with space between each link.
  • Bake the sausages for 15 minutes. They should be starting to brown but not fully cooked yet.
  • While the sausages bake, melt the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and starting to turn golden.
  • Stir the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and whole grain mustard into the onions. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture creates a thick, sticky syrup. If the glaze is too thick, stir in the beef broth.
  • Remove the sausages from the oven. Pour the sticky onion glaze over the sausages, tossing them gently on the tray to ensure they are well coated.
  • Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C) and the glaze is bubbly and sticky.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately, spooning any extra pan juices over the sausages.
