To prepare this sausage, you can simply heat it in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through. This usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. You can also microwave it for a quick option, following the package instructions for heating times. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can pan-fry it a bit longer until the casings are browned.
