To cook, you can remove the casing if it's in links and crumble the meat into a skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is cooked through. If it's in a chub, you can slice it into rounds or remove the casing and crumble it. It can also be added directly to simmering sauces or baked in casseroles. Ensure the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
