Sausage

To recap: we are developing recipes for low cost dinners that our family will eat.
SAUSAGE
Jimmy Dean sausage is 3 lbs for 6.13 at Costco. When  I get it home, I fry it, drain it well, and pour boiling water over it while it is still in the colander. This gets rid of a lot of the fat. Then divide it into six freezer bags. Label and freeze. When you are ready to cook, just take it out and bang it on the counter.
You can use it for Pizza, Quiche, Soup , Eggs and sausage.

8 ounces divided into four to six portions keeps the fat to a believable amount for a normal person.
