Easy Sausage

 Easy Sausage

Today's post isn't a recipe, it's more of a suggestion.  Have you had a hard time finding ready to eat sausage without a lot of sugar and other additives?  Me too.  But for some reason, the ones you have to cook yourself without all that extra stuff are easier to find.  But cooking them one or two at a time is a pain.  So I found a way to "pre-cook" them in a large batch, freeze them and then they are ready to eat, just heating them up in the microwave or a pan.

Take the whole package, separate any that are still connected and lay them out spaced a bit apart on a baking sheet.  The one I have is a stainless steel pan called a half sheet "bun" pan by professional bakers.  It's also a great shallow roasting pan, jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.  I like stainless steel because it doesn't leave the dark dust that aluminum pans do.  They aren't as easy to find, but you can get them at specialty cooking stores or on line.
Bake these at 350 for around 10-15 min or until no longer pink in the middle.  If desired you can flip them over to get them brown on both sides or just turn on your broiler for the last couple of minutes.
Let cool and freeze.

Here's the label on the ones I found - gluten free and although dextrose is listed as an ingredient, it must not be much because carb counts are 0.  This one is 90 calories per link, no msg and very few ingredients.
