Step 1

Put more food in your dish. A way to cool down your spicy sausage dish is make more of it, minus the spicy ingredients. Adding pineapple to your meal will tone down the spiciness. The pineapple will disappear and the sweetness it has will keep your sausage meal cool. Replace pineapple with sugar to get the same effect. Add a few drops of lime juice is another option. Incorporating yogurt, milk or sour cream to a creamy spicy sausage dish will have a cooling effect, as well. To absorb too much spice, add some chopped potatoes.
