If you were to glimpse into my freezer at any given moment, I guarantee you’d find a pound or two of uncooked sausage inside. Hot Italian is my preference — either ground sausage sold in bulk or as links — but really, no matter the variety, sausage is a true dinner miracle. It’s so packed with seasoning that you hardly need to do much to turn it into a meal.
Add crumbled, browned sausage to everything from a pot of rice to a baking sheet piled with vegetables and you’ve instantly got a hearty and satisfying dinner on your hands. It doesn’t matter if it’s pork, turkey, or chicken sausage — it all holds equal potential. These 15 recipes show off just how versatile and convenient (not to mention, crowd-pleasing) sausage really is.
