Roundy's Select Three Cheese Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked sausage made from chicken and blended with three distinct cheeses. The chicken provides a leaner base compared to pork, while the cheeses add a creamy, savory richness. It is pre-seasoned, making it a convenient option for quick meals. The sausage is typically mild in flavor, allowing the cheese to be the prominent taste profile.
How people cook with it
- Added to pasta dishes
- Served in breakfast scrambles
- Grilled for sandwiches
- Included in sheet pan dinners
To prepare, simply heat the sausage through. It can be sliced and sautéed in a pan until browned and warmed. Alternatively, it can be grilled or baked until heated. For quicker preparation, it can be added directly to simmering sauces or stews, where it will heat through as the dish cooks. The pre-cooked nature means it is safe to eat as is, but heating enhances its texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional pork sausages, this chicken sausage is generally lighter in fat content. The inclusion of three cheeses differentiates it from plain chicken sausage, offering a more complex and melty flavor profile. It also differs from smoked sausages by not having that distinct smoky essence.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container or the original packaging, tightly sealed. Keep refrigerated and consume within a few days to maintain freshness. Proper storage prevents spoilage and maintains the sausage's quality.
