Notes
Use your favorite sausage in this recipe. I like to use bulk sausage rather than link sausage. However, while I've not used this product, it did catch my attention. I noticed that Jimmy Dean has fully cooked Sausage Crumbles in Original and Turkey Sausage varieties, making this recipe easy to throw together in very little time.
