My favorite way to use sausage.

I recently made Egg Roll in a Bowl (several recipes on pinterest) and it was good! I also often make sausage lentil soup and occasionally use sausage in chili.

We also brown sausage and use it when we do a baked potato bar for dinner to add in a protein besides cheese.

I was going to suggest this as well. I learned it from a Pampered Chef recipe book but saw this one on-line: link We don't do any veggies in it. Depending on how your sausage is flavored, I might spice it different. 

We make "breakfast cups" on weekends which is just sausage crumbled in a muffin pan with cheese and whisked eggs on top. Lots and lots of different versions on pinterest of that one. 

This sounds like a weird combo, but Rachel Ray made sausage/broccoli stir fry and added it to pasta with Parmesan. I simplified her version, it's one of our favorite easy dinners

I usually sautee with a bunch of veggies and then toss the pasta with pesto, then top with shred parm

OK thanks. What you call "ground beef" we call "beef mince", so I was wondering whether "ground sausage" is what we call "sausage mince." After googling, I came across a website called Yanks Downunder  , and according to the "Yanks" on the site, American-style breakfast sausage is nearly impossible to find in Australia. 

In Australia "sausage rolls" are very popular - they're served at pretty much every kids (and adults) birthday party. I'm not sure whether they are common in the US, I've never seen them mentioned. They look like this:



There are lots of variations. The most common recipe is sausage mince mixed with either beef/pork/chicken mince, breadcrumbs, herbs & spices and (in order to appear a bit more healthy) some grated carrot and maybe even zucchini. I usually add BBQ and/or sweet chilli sauce to mine. Then you lay out a sheet of puff pastry, cut it in half, then put a length of the sausage mix down the centre of the puff pastry. Roll it up to enclose the filling, cut into about 6 little rolls, and brush with an egg wash then sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Cook for about 25-30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with tomato sauce (ketchup). 

There are about a gazillion recipes for sausage rolls, each claiming to be the "best ever"!!! 

I use it in a soup with gnocchi, spinach/kale, squash and whatever else you feel like having. It is based off of a Olive Garden recipe I think, something like Toscana soup, but I just use veggie broth and ad way more veggies. I actually like to crumbled the sausage into little balls. I usually have enough soup to freeze!
