I have an over abundance of ground pork sausage and brats in my freezer.  I need some creative recipes to use these up.  Send me your best ideas.  Thanks.

My kids don’t mind them plain with mashed potatoes or sauerkraut as part of brunch. We use them for jambalaya with shrimps if we happen to have seafood in our fridge. Usually they get sliced and used up for fried rice.

You could use both in Bigos (bee-gose).  Which is a Polish hunter's stew.  You can really use any kind of meat/sausage in it.

Sub your meat in proportions you prefer.  If you have bulk sausage, I would just brown it up in small chunks.  It freezes well too.

1st idea: Cut up the brats/cook the sausage and put in omelets or quiche.  Throw in veggies and cheese.

2nd idea: Breakfast sausage recipe: 1 lb ground pork, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp oregano, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, pinch of ground cloves

Fry it up and reserve some of the drippings for biscuits and gravy. To make gravy, heat the drippings on med and whisk in enough flour to make a roux.  Cook and stir a few minutes and then start adding milk/half in half a little at a time, whisking well until it is the consistency you want.  Salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme [+red pepper] to taste.

Mashed potato casserole: casserole dish full of your favorite mashed potatoes, topped with cooked sausage and shredded cheese. Bake to warm everything and melt cheese. My kids love this.

(Meat) and Rice Casserole

 

Make a pot of rice and set aside.

--------

Saute veggies in oil.  I use onion, celery, garlic - all chopped. 

Add some butter to the veggies and saute until mixture thickens somewhat. 

Add spices.  I used Kosher salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, and whatever goes with the rest of the ingredients.

Add some kind of cooked, chopped meat.

Add 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup.

Stir all together and heat.

__________

Mix the cooked rice with the above mixture.  Put in a greased casserole dish and seal with aluminum foil.  Bake at 350 degrees just to heat everything.  You can also remove the foil and melt cheese on the top if you like.

I like to use cooked ground sausage along with a bag of Cole slaw (no dressing) or just shredded cabbage, throw in some garlic or ginger or soy sauce, and roll up in spring rolls to make a sort of lumpia.  Brush with oil and bake.  Delightful!

We take pizza dough and spread it on a pan, add mozz cheese and ground cooked/drained sausage, roll it up, and bake it.  I think it's a calzone or stromboli like that?  I've never had either of those but I think that's basically what it is.

Our family enjoys this Sausage and Lentils with Fried Sage recipe.  Instead of cooking large chunks of carrots&onion which are later removed, I chop them up and leave them in.  Leftovers reheat well, too.

This.

Plain/unseasoned, breakfast, Italian all lend themselves to different things.

Me making stupid inquisitive faces trying to figure out the domain name... I'd rather beach ef? (What's ef mean?!?)  🤭

[KungFuPanda]

We like brats fried up with onions, peppers, and pierogies. 
 

Italian seasoned sausage will go with any pizza or pasta dish or in a zuppa toscana

breakfast sausage is great in patties on breakfast sandwiches, in gravy for biscuits, in savory scones, or in scotch eggs. You could also do a whole breakfast casserole.
