I'm not the greatest cook and could use some advice on the 'bestest', easiest way of cooking Italian sausages, et al, along with any quick and easy recipes you ma wish to share.

TIA!

I pierce, and then broil

I just fry them in a grill pan.

My favorite way to cook Italian sausages is to fry them in a pan with a little water to keep them from sticking along with onions and bell peppers.  Then I add canned crushed  tomatoes and simmer altogether.

 If we have a party, I simmer them in a crockpot after cooking them in a pan.  The flavors really meld together.

It is delicious this way, especially for sandwiches.

Also, you can open the sausage casings and fry the sausage into crumbles, then add eggs to the pan and scramble together for breakfast.

I also saute them, grill them or smoke them.

I would never pierce them!  You lose all the flavor and moisture.

@Carmie , that's what I did, using evoo insead of h20, minus the tomatoes.  I landed up with dried,  blackened sausages and burnt peppers!

How long do you cook them and do you use medium heat?

Rempving the casings with eggs sounds good!

@RespectLife , I used a frypan and landed up with grease -- yuck!  Wondering if cooking using a George Foreman would work?  less mess to clean - right?

@eddyandme  I follow the basic recipe as @Carmie . If I'm not adding tomatoes and just doing sausage with peppers and onions, I sear the sausage links (or rope) over medium with a bit of olive oil. 5 minutes on each side to get some color. Then I remove and add the sliced onion and peppers for about 10 minutes - stirring frequently. Then I throw the sausage in with the veggies, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. My basic rule of thumb is 18 to 20 minutes in the skillet for the sausages.

I cook my brats in my air fryer. Works great!
