One of my family’s favorites is Hillshire Farm® smoked sausage. It adds great flavor to so many dishes. My preferred way to use it is in an easy stir fry. I can cook it all in one skillet and then have dinner on the table in just 15 minutes.
Often, this is one of my go-to meals when I’m in a rush. I can start the vegetables cooking while I’m slicing up the sausage. Since Hillshire Farm® sausage is already cooked, it doesn’t need to be added until the last few minutes. Then, I just steam rice in the microwave in two minutes while the stir fry is cooking down, and I’ve got dinner in a snap!
I was grabbing groceries at Target just the other day and saw that all the Hillshire Farm® smoked sausages were on sale. I had to grab at least a couple sausages, and then as I was headed to the checkout I picked up some fresh vegetables and jasmine rice. It was an easy dinner for another busy night.
Our busiest night is usually Thursday. My son has swim team practice and my daughter has winterguard practice, so I don’t get home to start cooking until after 8 P.M. This is the perfect meal for those nights.
My kids love smoked sausage even when it’s cold, so they can never stay away after I slice it up. Many times I find them sneaking it before I can add it all to the stir fry.
