Instant Pot Italian Sausage Recipes

We will share ideas for kielbasa style sausage links, as well as ground in a roll. Both spicy and mild there are TONS of possibilities for making a casserole with it, or adding peppers for a low carb meal. I mean anything using ground sausage could also use ground beef alternatively, or half and half.

You can use any brand of cooker you might have on your countertop too. If you have a Crockpot Express, go for it. A mealthy works, and we love easy Ninja Foodi recipes too. They all work the same, the latter just has the air crisp option as well.

Ninja Foodi Sausage Recipes

I have a hard time not pressure cooking because it makes my life so much easier and reduces cooking time to next to nothing. It is kinda’ hard remembering what it was like to not have a multi cooker pressure cooker on hand really.

• I really see ground sausage as a great alternative to ground beef recipes in every respect. Of course pork typically has a higher fat content but that also means more flavor.
• Jimmy Dean spicy is probably my favorite amongst them all. Many times I will use half of this roll mixed with regular so it is the perfect amount of heat. Period.

We prefer spicy sausage over anything else. It lends a ton of flavor which means I don’t have to add any additional spices.
