Cooking Instructions & Tips:

For optimum freshness, keep refrigerated and use by the date stamped on package. Open packages should be consumed within 3 days, or frozen no longer than 60 days. Thaw in refrigerator or microwave prior to cooking. Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature is 160°F.

Tip: To prevent the sausage from sticking on the grill or pan, gently coat the cooking surface with vegetable oil or a nonstick vegetable oil spray.

Whole Rope Sausage: Place rope sausage on the grill or in a stovetop skillet. Cook over medium high heat (350°F) for 20-25 minutes or until grillers reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Turn often with tongs to brown evenly.

Bite Size Pieces: Skillet: Cut sausage into ½” pieces and place sausage in skillet to cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or or until sausage pieces reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Grill: place cut sausage pieces on alumunim foil and grill over medium heat (350°F) and cook 10-13 minutes or until pieces reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
