PREMIO Hot Italian Sausage Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties of seasoned pork sausage. They are made with a blend of spices that give them a characteristic Italian flavor and a noticeable level of heat. The pork is ground and then shaped into convenient patties, ready for cooking. They are typically found in the refrigerated section of a grocery store, often near other fresh meats and sausages. The patties are designed for quick and easy preparation, making them a convenient option for meals.
How people cook with it
These sausage patties are a versatile ingredient for many dishes. They can be a main component or added to enhance flavor.
- Breakfast sandwiches
- Pasta sauces
- Pizza toppings
- Skillet meals
To cook the sausage patties, place them in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are browned and cooked through. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning once. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safety. They can be served whole or crumbled after cooking, depending on the dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to bulk sausage, these patties offer pre-portioned convenience, saving time on shaping. The 'hot' designation indicates a spicier seasoning profile than mild Italian sausage, which typically uses less or no chili pepper.
How to keep the rest
Keep the unopened package refrigerated. Once opened, store any unused patties in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Consume within 3-5 days of opening for best quality and safety.
