Johnsonville Premium 80% Lean/20% Fat Hot Italian Ground Pork Sausage, 1 lb Tray Refrigerated

I was originally buying and storing Johnsonville's wrapped sausages for when my cousin visited. She'd go through a package of the Italian mild dogs each week. Because her stays grew fewer, I decided to remove the skins and try the ground sausage in my spaghetti sauce ( with the 90/10 ground beef). It was "the rave"! These days, I buy it ground (no skins to remove) and use it all of the time as a second meat sauce in my sauce. I have to make a stock pot of sauce and share it with family and friends. They cook their own choices of pasta. REMEMBER: Drain the fat from each meat component before adding them to the sauce. 🫠

Never had a problem with this product after buying it from different vendors for 15 years. Buying from Walmart was not any different! The sausage is always good and I usually take the casing off and mix it with ground beef to make meatballs. I'm Scotch-Irish, so don't all of my Italian grandmothers faint all at once if it's not traditional! LOL
