cooking directions :

Always thaw product prior to cooking. To ensure product is cooked thoroughly, use a cooking or meat thermometer to make sure sausage has reached an internal temperature of 160°F.

Skillet

Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Add sausage. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes, turning links often. Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully add ½ cup water to skillet. Cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until cooked through.

Gas or Charcoal Grill

Preheat gas grill to medium-low. (If charcoal, allow it to burn until white ash has formed on the coals.) Place links on grill and use tongs to turn links often. Grill covered for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and browned. (Closing the grill lid while cooking helps minimize flare-ups.)

Indoor Broiling

Preheat broiler. Place links on broiler pan or foil-lined baking pan on center oven rack (7-9 in. from heat). Broil for 11-12 minutes or until sausage internal temperature reaches 160F, turning links every 4 minutes.

The Cat's Pajamas These are great in a pasghetti sauce. I would recommend them over locally made sausage. And dont be chicken about the heat. Yum. -Jeepin Jesse April 11, 2012
Great flavor! I used the Johnsonville Hot Italian sausage in two dishes for my family, a pasta and a soup. It added such great flavor to both meals, I added very little additional seasoning. I tried baking and pan frying the sausage. The sausage had great texture with each cooking method and rendered very little fat. This was very surprising. It had heat but not too much. I am looking forward to trying another flavor if I can find them. The grocery stores only had hot and sweet links, no other italian sausage varieties if they carried the products at all. I thought Johnsonville only made Brats. I was very happy to find the hot Italian sausage and one with not too much caraway seed. I would definitely buy this again. April 1, 2012
