To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. It can be heated through in a skillet over medium heat, allowing the casing to crisp slightly and the interior to warm. Alternatively, it can be sliced and added to other dishes. For a cheesesteak-inspired meal, slice the sausage and sauté it with onions and bell peppers, then serve on a roll with your favorite cheese. It’s also versatile enough to be chopped and incorporated into pasta dishes or used as a topping for homemade pizzas.
