To prepare, you can simply heat the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through and lightly browned.

It also works well sliced and added to a pot of beans or a hearty chili, infusing the dish with its smoky flavor and savory notes. The pre-cooked nature means it just needs to be heated.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh sausages, this smoked variety is already cooked and has a firmer texture due to the smoking process. The hickory smoking imparts a deeper, more pronounced smoky flavor that is not present in unsmoked or other types of cured sausages. Its casing is also typically designed to be eaten.
