Johnsonville Better-for-You Sausages

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JOHNSONVILLE BETTER FOR YOU SAUSAGE

We have had Johsonville Sausage before (and loved it) and I wasn’t sure how the Better For You Sausage would taste, but let me tell you – it far surpassed my expectations!  For my recipe, I used the Johnsonville Better For You Sausage in the 3 Cheese Italian Style and Chipotle with Monterey Jack Cheese and they were so yummy.  Not only were they yummy, but they smelled really good too!  I also love that the sausages were separated from each other in the packaging so that each sausage was not touching the other sausage in the package.

You can find a variety of Johnsonville Better-for-You Sausage flavors at your local grocery store.  You’ll find the big, bold Johnsonville flavors you love and crave, but with 50% less fat!  How sweet is that?

What flavor would you try first?  What recipe would you create?
