When Johnsonville Sausage joins the Taste of Home cooking schools on its 30-state fall tour between September and December, attendees will be delighted by a tasty dish for the holiday season.
Taste of Home cooking school attendees will learn some creative uses for Italian ground sausage in a main entree or appetizer. The goal is to expose the Taste of Home cooking school attendees to some convenient, flavorful and simple recipes they can take back with them for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.
One popular recipe that reviewers rate as a five-star dish is Johnsonville’s Chiliville Chili, which takes a traditional all-ground beef recipe and instead uses a blend of ground beef and Italian ground sausage, which gives the chili an extra flavor boost.
Johnsonville Italian ground sausage is available in three flavors such as sweet, made with basil; hot, made with crushed red pepper; or mild, a more traditional version. While other meats require sauces and spices to flavor a dish, Italian sausage delivers the flavor all on its own.
Made with only premium cuts of pork and a perfect blend of spices, Johnsonville Italian ground sausage brings the level of quality that confident cooks are looking for when creating their families’ “keeper” recipes.
