I'm getting ready to make a big pot of Gumbo - chicken and shrimp and crab and smoked sausage....drool, slobber, wipe chops, continue....and so anyway, I only need about half this rope of smoked sausage that I bought for the gumbo. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with the rest of it? Hubby hates saurkraut, so my only idea got shot down. Suggestions gratefully welcomed!

We like to cut it up and use it in a potato type soup with cheese.

Its great like a hot dog, or cut it up and freeze it so you can add a little bit at a time to pizza topping, cooking with home fries, or in an omelette.

For the red meat eaters in the family, I use it in place of meatballs or ground beef in spaghetti. Gives the spaghetti a nicer taste than the ground beef. For me I use the smoked "sausage" made either from turkey or the Boca Burger "italian sausage", which is very good but loaded with sodium ( sure wish they'd leave that out!!!).

Hmmmmm.....I've never had any 'extra' cuz my kids are insatiable carnivores, but lets see.........they eat it in sandwiches, either grilled with cheese, or just cheese melted on top of the meat, in stir frys, in scrambled eggs, in chefs salads, in green beans, quiche, on pizza, in mac and cheese, scalloped taters, or in baked beans

Cook up with sauted onion and put in rosoto boiled in chicken broth with a little tomato sauce for color. Really tasty. If you have leftover, add a couple of eggs into the rice and fry in olive oil. (can you tell I married an Italian?)

If you fry the meat up and freeze it, you can add it to stuff anytime you like and not worry about it going bad.
