Not quite sure why I like this one so much. Could it be my German heritage? Hmmm, not sure, but it is very tasty!
Cut sausage into chunks. Brown in electric skillet; remove from skillet. Layer sauerkraut, onion slices, potato halves and apple wedges in skillet. Place sausage chunks into mixture. Drizzle apple juice over top. Simmer, covered, at 220-240 degrees F for 45 minutes or until apples and potatoes are tender but firm.

Adding sausage to a potato casserole makes a side dish into a starring main dish for brunch or dinner. This is a great way to use up leftovers.
Super easy and yummy to fix. My husband loves most anything with brown and serve sausage in it.
Place sausage in a crockpot. Mix sauce and spices and pour over all. Cook all day on low or about 3-4 hours on high. (It will be so moist!). When ready to eat, cook pirogies and drain.
A spicy, sausage and onion filled baked dish that is cut into squares. This easy recipe can be served hot or cold and makes great appetizers.
Cook rice until water is absorbed. Brown sausage and drain. Combine all ingredients and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees F in a 9x13 inch pan.
Shape sausage into 8 patties about 3/4 inch thick; place on a rack in a broiler pan.
Here is another great crock pot meal. My family just loves it!

Hi Bev,
My Portuguese family made a very simple spaghetti sauce using either Linguica or Chourico. Both made by Gaspar's. I prefer the Chourico because it is a little spicer and has more flavor. But here it is.
1 pkg Linguica or Chourico
2 8oz cans tomato paste
3 16oz cans tomato sauce
Peel skin off of meat and cut into very small pieces into dutch oven. Put enough water to cover meat and still have enough to boil for about 15-20 min. Add tomato sauce and paste. Simmer for 45-50 min. Serve over spaghetti. You can adjust your tomato sauce and paste for varying thickness. Just depends on how you like it. Serves about 4 hungary people with some garlic bread.
The Kale soup recipe by nbmeme is also excellent. Give it a try.
By the way, my family is from Fall River. Not too far from New Bedford. We are transplants to Fla for many years now.
Bev,
I forgot to mention you can go to Gaspar's website www.gasparssausage.com. and they have alot of recipes using their sausage. Hope this helps.
I was brought up with portugese cooking. Kale soup with linguica is very good however we always had linguica sandwiches with peppers & onions. I add cheese as well. The sausage shaped linguica served on a torpedo roll, the patty shaped linguica served on a hamburger bun, grilled as an alternative to burgers. YUM!
