Grilled Weber Q Devilled Sausages for Home or Camping
Delightfully rich and hearty with just a pinch of cayenne, these Weber Q devilled sausages are cooked entirely on the grill and come together in only one pan.
Is there nothing the Weber Q cannot do?
This versatile little BBQ produces some of the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life.
It’s especially impressive how tender it can grill a steak or cook the most tender roast lamb or pork.
The Weber Q can be summed up as having an oven or grill outside, no matter where you are.
And today’s recipe is no exception!
Thanks to my eldest daughter and her amazing Christmas present of 2022, I received the Weber Q casserole dish for my Family Q.
I cooked the best-devilled sausages ever.
The sausages came out tender and juicy, and above all, the sauce was beautiful.
Do I need a casserole dish for devilled sausages in the Weber Q?
The answer is definitely yes!
Your Weber Q is essentially an oven, so remember, “if it can cook in an oven, it can cook in the Weber Q.”
And I’m not saying to rush out and buy Weber’s official casserole dish, either.
Any casserole dish will do just fine if you can close the lid on your Weber.
But what I do love most about Weber Q’s casserole dish are the removable handles.
This makes my life so much easier when placing the casserole dish on and off the grill without burning myself.
If you have been thinking about grabbing one for yourself, please remember one important point that many people ask.
Will the large Weber Q casserole dish fit in the Baby Q?
The answer is yes and no! I know that isn’t a very clear answer.
Well, that’s because the large does fit into the Baby Q, but with only one compromise.
You can’t put the lid on the casserole dish and expect to close the top of your Baby Q.
And we all know the Weber Q was designed to always cook with the lid down.
So it’s best to grab the small dish for the Baby Q and the large for the medium and Family Q series.
Using the right size casserole dish will guarantee the best-tasting Weber Q devilled sausages on the planet!

Ingredients you’ll need to make Weber Q devilled sausages
Before getting into the list of ingredients, I wanted to mention the level of cayenne pepper that I added to this recipe.
I believe devilled sausages need a certain amount of heat, but my family aren’t big on it.
So for the sake of this recipe and to stay true to its traditional flavours, I only added 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
Please add as much as you like to suit your flavour profile. Still, I recommend only adding a 1/4 tsp of cayenne in increments until you reach your desired heat level.
Ok, so for this Weber Q devilled sausages recipe, you’ll need the following:
How to make devilled sausages on the Weber Q? Step 1
Note: Throughout this recipe, I’ll provide steps for both Baby Q and Family Q to make it easier for you guys!
To begin making Weber Q grilled sausages, you’ll first need to preheat your Q for 10 minutes on High.
Family Q: Turn both gas control knobs to the START/HI position and preheat your Q with the lid down.
While waiting for your Q to preheat, now would be a good time to slice your onion, peel and core, and thinly slice your apple, then mince your garlic cloves.
Once your Weber has preheated, carefully pop the sausages onto the grill on an angle and tightly packed together.
Pro Tip: Keeping sausages packed together on the grill will help them retain their moisture, effectively keeping them tender and juicy. And preventing them from drying out.
Pop the lid of your Q down and leave the gas control knob in the High position.
Family Q: Turn the small gas control knob to low, and leave the large gas control knob in the High position.
Grill your sausages for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
Once cooked, remove and wrap them in aluminium foil to retain moisture and keep them piping hot, then set aside.
How to make devilled sausages on the Weber Q? Step 2
Step 2 of your Weber Q devilled sausages begins by placing your casserole dish directly onto the centre of the grill and adding 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Wait for the olive oil to start smoking, then pop your sliced onions into the casserole dish and fry your onions until translucent.
Fry with the lid down to retain the heat in your Q, and occasionally stir to prevent the onions from burning.
Baby Q: Leave the gas control knob in the START/HI position.
Family Q: Turn the small gas control knob up to medium/high and leave the large gas control knob in the START/HI position.
Next, add your sliced apple pieces and continue frying with the lid down until the apple has turned slightly golden.
Remember to stir occasionally.
Finally, add your minced garlic and continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
This can be done with the lid up.
How to make the sauce for devilled sausages?
The next step to making Weber Q devilled sausages is creating the sauce.
Combine 1 cup of beef stock with 1 tsp of cornflour/cornstarch in a jug, and whisk until there are no lumps.
Pour the stock into the casserole dish with a 400g can of diced tomatoes and 3 thyme sprigs.
Stir well to combine and bring to a slight boil, don’t boil all the way.
While waiting for the sauce to almost boil, leave the lid down and the gas control knob/s in the same position.
Next, add 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, tbsp wholegrain mustard, 1 tsp smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
Stir until well combined, then season with salt & black pepper. Taste the sauce and season further if required.
How to make devilled sausages on the Weber Q? Step 3
The final stage to making Weber Q devilled sausages is to remove your sausages from the aluminium foil and slice them up into bite-sized pieces.
Add the sausages to the casserole dish and stir to combine until well mixed throughout the sauce.
Place the lid onto the casserole dish or cover it with aluminium foil.
Baby Q: Turn the gas control knob down to the low position.
Family Q: Turn the small gas control knob to the low position and the large gas control knob off.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 10 minutes, turning halfway until the sausages have softened and are piping hot.
Serve hot on a bed of creamy mashed potato and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or spring onion.
My grilled Weber Q devilled sausages turned out amazing, and now you can take this recipe with you on your next camping trip.
Enjoy!
What can I serve with devilled sausages?
Devilled sausages are such a popular recipe enjoyed by many Australians.
It’s cost-effective and can feed a small army.
My family love devilled sausages when served on a bed of peppered creamy mashed potatoes and chives.
Or try healthier options such as bacon and egg potato salad or fresh creamy coleslaw.
What can I do with leftover devilled sausages?
Don’t throw your leftovers away. Luckily, devilled sausages can be reheated.
Once cooled, store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
To reheat, place on the stove on low heat and add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
Cook until the sausages are piping hot, then serve.
