Roy and Becky Adams of Fayetteville gave me the heads-up on Niman Ranch's new line of precooked sausages. The Adamses write, "We've been cooking Italian Sausage and Peppers for 30 years, but with a time-consuming routine using uncooked sausage. We were cooking for friends, and wanted something quick and easy that wouldn't distract us. Imagine how surprised we were to find pre-cooked Italian sausage at Publix. Flavored canned tomatoes added the necessary seasonings."
After testing, I found this a great compromise ingredient.
