    Johnsonville makes quality sausage

  17. natalyn:

    I like crumbling up the sausage like ground beef and cooking it, then tossing it with roasted potatoes and scallions. It is embarassingly easy, and my family loves it.

    We like a little spice to our Spaghetti Sauce but not too much. I make it with half Johnsonville Sausage, crumbled and half plain hamburger. Perfect.

    Coming to you from the Stumble upon blog group. Please come back and stumble all the posts! Jonesville sausage and pasta, never thought of that one!

  32. Denise B.:

    Great with sauerkraut.

  33. ky2here:

    Johnsonville is my go-to ingredient for quick tasty meals on the fly. In the summer, those pups are going on the grill to be accompanied by a salad. In the winter, I’m most likely to make cajun jambalaya. I’ll toss in some andouille if I have it as well as shrimp, chicken, onion, green peppers, liberal sprinkles of red pepper flakes and, of course, plenty of hot sauce.

  34. Jennifer M:

    I make a soup with sausage, kale, and potatoes.

    Johnsonville is a big part of our family. We grill ‘em all year long for dinner – even when its snowing, and we fry ‘em up for breakfast at least once per week. I can’t say for certain, but the only thing that could possibly make a Johnsonville sausage taste any better is if its free :) Thanks!

  39. Chris N:

    I love to use the Italian sausage with jarred pasta sauce and farfalle. Add some olives and top with Parmesan and it is a quick easy dinner.

  40. Joseph:

    All my kids love sausage, whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They are easy to cook, even the kids enjoy helping out in the kitchen when we are having anything made with sausage.
