Think about your favorite fresh sausage patty … for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. As good as it is, think about what it would taste like if you added just a hint of smoke. That’s exactly what using Gourmet Smoke Wraps does. We selected a spicy Italian sausage, but it would be equally good with breakfast sausages or any sweet or savory sausage combo. And by stoking it in a wrap … in the Dutch oven or on the grill … you’re cooking away some of the fat rather than frying the sausage in the fat. The steam keeps it moist. It’s essential that you bring fresh sausage up to a safe cooking temperature of at least 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the center of the sausage roll. Remove from heat when it’s about five degrees short of desired temperature and allow it to rest to come up to temp before serving.
