Great Twist on salad

by Gin81 7 months ago
My family is somewhat picky and it is difficult to get them to eat salads. SInce we all love Johnsonville products I thought this would be a great way to get them to eat. And it was no surprise that they loved it and asked for it to be served more often. It was very good and all of the flavors blended well together. I will be making this alot more from now on.

This product has great flavor and ease of cooking

by mich076 8 months ago
Johnsonville sausages have great flavor and ease of cooking. I always have some on hand for those nights that we're in a hurry. I use them in place of meats that would otherwise take 40 minutes to cook. They are also great on a roll with a side of cole slaws or beans. These are the only sausages I will buy.

Lentils

by Matt 8 months ago
The precooked sausages are a great way to make a fast meal. We like to keep a package in our refrigerator for the day when we just don't have time to cook. A few minutes in the skillet with green beans and over some white rice or lentils makes a fast and healthy meal.

Johnsonville smoked sausage is a hit in our household. Why? Because we have found many ways to use it in our meals besides breakfast. We love stir fry with fresh vegitables as well as canned or frozen. Soupes such as pea soup are also a hit.

by cakelady 8 months ago
Usually when one thinks of Ceasar Salad they think meatless or they think of chicken. However, the addition of the sausage is a great taste with the greens and cheese. This makes a wonderful salad for supper that is a little on the hearty side for those men who don't necessarily like to eat light.
