Ground Andouille Sausage

[emma'smom]

I bought two packages of ground andouille sausage at the store today as part of a "pick six" deal. I thought it might be interesting....

But I can't find any recipes for GROUND andouille (as opposed to the kind in casing). Any tips on ways I can cook with it?

Just about any recipe that calls for ground meat/sausage should work with the andouille.

Yep, we use loose sausage occasionally. Use it in a tomato sauce over pasta; baked in a casserole with eggplant and zucchini; sautéed with garlic and broccoli rabe; etc.

The recipe websites might not have any suggestions for ground andouille, but there should be plenty for ground Italian sausage. Just substitute.

This Emeril recipe will work fine with the ground sausage

(btw, I'm not a fan of grits so I serve over rice)

I use it 50/50 with hamburger when I make chili.

Yes - if I had a bunch of it to use I'd 50/50 it with hamburger for any recipe calling for ground beef. Things will taste a "little different" but hopefully in an interesting way. (Taste before adding any additional garlic or "hot" spices though.)
