Johnsonville Smoked Beef Rope Sausage

This is very weird. It's precooked, but you have to cook it. It's a sausage but it tastes like a hot dog. I guess hot dogs are technically sausage (ew), but they have a special name because they taste so different, darn it! Sausage is weird. At least this was easy to cut and I guess easy to cook, although I baked mine on a pizza instead of following the instructions. I only ate like 1/8 of this but that was honestly enough. It was not good for pizza and honestly would not be good for anything you don't want hot dog bits in. Explicitly nut free per their website, though, which I do appreciate! (And soy free per the ingredos, anyway).

Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Turkey Sausage Links

Yep, these taste like a breakfast sausage all right! OK in small doses, but gets a little much after 3 links. Bafflingly, though a serving is 3, they come in packs of 6. I don't like this annoying packaging. But, they are super easy to cook, and soy free. So I don't hate them. I got these to maybe put on a pizza and I'm glad I didn't because breakfast sausage is not the same as sausage sausage. Nevertheless, for breakfast sausage, no serious complaints.

Premio Sweet Italian Sausage

I got this to make a Big Sausage Pizza, and it was really good. The pizza, I mean, but the sausage did its job and didn't make me ill. This is clutch, because it contains FENNEL and I didn't know if I was allergic to FENNEL -- I emailed the company and asked if their sausages always had fennel, since I think I bought these sometime 8-10 years ago (lol) and lived, and they wrote back so kindly, telling me "ya". So anyway, it was a successful little experiment, and I was happy to enjoy these, even thought sausages are a little bit gross to cook with. They tasted pretty good.

Johnsonville Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage (Original Recipe)

So, I got to sample these brekkie sausages free from CrowdTap, which is pretty great because I'm poor. But I was a little anxious because a lot (a lot!) of precooked sausages make me feel itchy and have swollen lips, I guess because I'm allergic to some sort of soy they put in there. However, I had absolutely no bad reaction to these! No lie! They taste really similar to other sausage, but I wasn't itchy at all. Just for that fact alone I was really happy.

Other good facts: These are precooked and only take 30 seconds (or 50 if you eat 6 at once, as I did) to cook in the microwave, and they come out perfectly heated, which is pretty amazing. So convenient. The taste is good, pretty much all you could want out of a breakfast sausage. And the package is resealable! I am being honest when I say I don't know how you could improve on this product. Nice work, Johnsonville! :D
