First, take out the sausage fillings and take off the skin. Make sure you brown the sausage! For spaghetti and meatballs, roll into balls beforehand. 

 

Baking

It’s not stuffing the sausage, but pairing the sausage with some stuffing! Perfect for the holidays and will give the sweet stuffing a little more depth by adding meat. 

 

Braised

Boiling

 

Place the sausages into boiling water. Make sure you lower the heat, as well. If they are pre-cooked, cook until they are all the way heated through. If they aren’t precooked, give them at least 30 minutes to cook in the water! This method is for someone looking for a firmer sausage!
