And one more thought… don’t buy the store brand! Thomas bought the Walmart brand of smoked sausage for my Birthday breakfast and it was not good! I am a store brand lover on 90% of things, this is not one of those things. It’s worth the extra dollar to get a better brand!

Great question Marseille! The kielbasa that I bought for this recipe was a Hill Shire Farms brand keilbasa. It is in the refrigerated meat section near the bacon and hot dogs. It is a link style sausage that comes in 1 pound packages and is shaped a bit like a horseshoe. A great substitute for Keilbasa would be a smoked sausage that would be right next to it. The Keilbasa is a little more flavorful to me and a little spicy. My mother doesn’t like it, I love it, you can choose.

When looking at this link style sausage it is good to read the package and see if it is fully cooked or not and if it is in a casing or not. The casing is an outer layer used to hold the sausage together. If it is included then it needs to be removed before eating (it would be like eating waxed paper). Most do not need a casing removed and are fully cooked… just things to be aware of!

Does that help? Any thoughts from anyone else?
