What it is

It is a versatile ingredient commonly used in many dishes.
How people cook with it

To prepare, remove the sausage from its packaging. If it is in a casing, you can slice it into rounds, remove the casing and crumble the meat, or leave it whole for grilling or baking. It can be cooked in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, or added directly to simmering sauces and stews to impart its flavor. For breakfast, it's often formed into patties and fried until golden.
