ISO: ISO what to do with a pound of sausage. Not too good fried, with eggs, and now

[dawnnys]

no one wants it ( I think maybe I cooked it too fast or too much? I removed it from the casing and fried it in a pan for a few minutes.

Any ideas for the leftover links, or suggestions on how to have cooked it better?

Thanks.

sounds like it might have been the sausage, not the cook.

Breakfast strata or casserole?

I was desparate to find something in the fridge for dinner the other night...

There was some turkey sausage, goat cheese, salad greens and wraps. Guess you can figure it out from here. I cooked the sausage, spread the goat cheese on the wrap, topped sausage with some cranberry pepper jelly and the salad greens. Wrapped it up, and....dinner! You could do something similar, depending on what kind of sausage vary the cheese, maybe some caramelized onions on top and/or mushrooms, tomato sauce instead of cranberry jelly, spinach instead of salad greens, the variations are only limited to your imagination!

Pizza topping?

Here's an idea Dawn

Saute some onions and mushrooms- sweet peppers too if you like- or blanch some broccoli and add at the end. Then add your leftover sausage, put some herbs in- oregano or basil, add a little garlic powder then cool down a bit (not to room temp just not stove top hot) and add some Marie's creamy Italian dressing (or Ranch) and mix it up. Chop up some fresh tomato and stuff Pita bread with this mixture and some of the fresh tomato. It is a version of a recipe called "Kriss's Pockets" and it is very T&T.

Thanks Cathy. Since they're still raw, I'd have to cook them... should I try to pan-fry again?

 

[dawnnys]

If pan-frying them at a lower temp doesn't help, I'll try this. Cooking them in liquid should

keep them tender. It was an off brand, so as rvb says, maybe it was the sausage, not me or the method ;o)

 

[dawnnys]

Thanks everyone else, too... I like all of the ideas. Sister suggested un-stuffed pepper soup.

Oh I missed the "raw" part- cook it along with the onions then pour the grease off
