I have a bunch of italian sausage but I’ve never cooked with it before. Does anybody know a good recipe that calls for italian sausage? I’d prefer not a soup since it’s so hot outside. I’m also not a big fan of pasta, but my husband loves it. So I guess a pasta recipe would be okay (but definitely not necessary). If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!

cook them by placing them in a frying pan with the water filled to have the sausage, for about 10 minutes, then fry them for about 3 minutes more, mix them with Pasta or anything, I love Italian Sausages more than life, but you gotta choose the right ones

I love Italian sausage with caramelized onions:
Follow the directions for cooking the sausage. But don’t let them cook fully through. Maybe take them out two minutes prior to being done. Set aside
Cut onions into thin slices (fill up the skillet becuase they melt down and look like less) saute them until they are transluecent and then add a few spoonfuls of brown sugar. I also like to add just a little bit of sweet red wine but that is up to you)
Once the onions are really soft and stringy almost like noodles add the sausage back in and cook everything until the sausage is done!
We sometimes buy hot dog buns to put the sausage in and add the onions on top!
enjoy!

Cut the casing end and squirt the meat out into little meatballs.
Grill them on the grill like a brat…. Served with a little Prego and you have one hell of an easy sandwich if served on Italian/French bread cut like a hot dog bun.

put them in a pan with 1/2 water cover let cook on med for 10 Min’s,water is absorbed. Once you see they are cooked with the water, Fry them in the pan with Olive oil. Throw in some sliced onions & bell peppers, let cook for a couple mins. Put on a bun with mayo..& or mustard or whatever you like..yummy, makes me hungry! Also you can cut them thick, keeping them round toss in your spagette sauce.

You can bake them with onions and peppers, then serve them on a hoagie roll with tomato sauce and melted mozarella to make a fantastic sausage and peppers sandwich. Or you can fry them up with the onions and peppers and do the same thing.
You can also pull the meat out of the casings and mix it in with any other ground meat to make any meatloaf recipe. The sausage spices will give your meatloaf a fantastic flavor. You can do the same thing with hamburgers.
You can also take the meat out of the casings and crumble it into a frying pan, then when it’s cooked, drain off the juices and scramble it up with some eggs or put it in an omelet.
You can also fry it up either out of the casings or cut into rounds and throw it into some chili.
And you can cook it in water for a few minutes, finish it in a frying pan and serve it like a hot dog.
