Harris & Harris Fully Cooked Sausage Links
What it is
These are pre-cooked pork sausage links, ready to be heated and served. They are typically seasoned with a blend of spices that give them a savory flavor. The cooking process is completed at the factory, ensuring they are safe to eat straight from the package if desired, though heating enhances their texture and taste. They are a convenient option for quick meals and breakfasts.
How people cook with it
These sausage links are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be quickly prepared for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- Breakfast side dish
- Sandwich filling
- Casserole ingredient
- Appetizer component
To heat, you can pan-fry them over medium heat until they are browned and heated through, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, they can be microwaved for about 30-60 seconds per link, or heated in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. For added flavor, consider adding them to scrambled eggs or alongside pancakes. They are also excellent in breakfast burritos or as a component in a hearty brunch.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw sausages, these links are fully cooked, meaning they require less preparation time and are safe to consume without further cooking. Their texture is generally firmer than raw sausage, and they are designed for quick reheating rather than extended cooking to reach a safe internal temperature.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused sausage links in their original packaging or an airtight container. They should be consumed within a few days to maintain freshness. Do not freeze the cooked sausage unless it is part of a larger prepared dish that is being frozen.
