PORK casing!!

I purchased these because it said they were beef. when you read the ingredients it says Pork casings. you should make it very clear that this does contain pork!!

Delicious

This kielbasa is so versatile: you can have it on a bun, you can bake it with potatoes, you can make red beans and rice or you can boil it and add sides for dinner. I also use it for the sausage in my paella. It's excellent.

Texas Sausage

If you're from Texas this sausage is for you. It tastes like real sausage that has bite. It snaps perfectly. It's not overly processed where every bite is uniform. It tastes Amazing!!

VERY GOOD!

Bought a package of these sausages a while back and stuck them in the freezer- forgot about them. Last week-end thawed them out and just heated in a frying pan. They are excellent! Perfectly seasoned. We just ate them on a bun with mustard. I will definately be buying more (and won't forget about them this time)!

Tough and fatty.

Casing is extremely tough and difficult to chew - so we strip it off before eating. Sausage stuffing is very, very fatty. One sausage in a frying pan will produce over 1 tablespoon or more of thick fat. When you squeeze out the fat, the sausage meat has a good taste - but it's not worth the trouble.

Tubes of pure nasty.

Do not fall for all the good reviews. These are so nasty the casing is tough as shoe leather the flavor is salt (saltier than spam by far). I tried to eat 2 of these and in bothe of them there was bone fragments and cartilage. Ohh and don't forget a heaping helping of diced up veins. As for the spices there were a hand full of poorly broken up pepper corns. Also they have cherry powder in them for reasons. So if you have a cherry allergy you will need to watch out. THESE ARE THE WORST SAUSAGES I HAVE EVER EATEN. Sams needs to drop this company asap.

Best sausage ever. Tastes great

I bought the jalapeño sausage from Kiolbassa a year ago, but it appears unless there is a demand they won't carry it. I even wrote the company to ask to PLEASE bring it back to Sams Club. Its as good as the beef sausage. It's nice to eat a "healthier" version of sausage.

Buyer beware. Chew carefully. 1/4" Shards of bone!

I have been a fan of the Kiolbassa brand, especially the Andoulle sausage, now discontinued at Sams Club, and I know and understand how sausage is made, but I have experienced 1/4 inch or slightly smaller bone shards in almost every link of my most recent package, and based on the reviews over the years, it's not a new problem. I just neglected to read the bad reviews, so buyer beware...on that, I failed. Perhaps a smaller grind to avoid pieces large enough to dislodge crowns when the pieces get pushed between teeth when chewing might be in order...or don't allow chunks of bone into the grinder. Again, acknowledging how sausage is made, and that people are involved in the meat processing portion of prep. This isn't the first time I've found bone in the sausage, but it was the first time I found so much in a single link, and across multiple links in a single package. That suggests a possible decline in quality control, or a significant event introducing more bone and cartilage into the mix. Regardless, I can't recommend this product, and I do suggest you carefully chew if trying this brand of sausage.

really love it , makes a great sandwich or grill

Just came up with recipe: thin slice and pan fry till rendered (turn over as doing) toss in a sliced sweet onion and sauté in the rendering with the meat. when onions transparent toss in cooked Udon (any pasta will do) , stir in sauce of choice ( I used soy sauce this time) and enjoy. Kept it simple this time but a lot of room for experimenting

Casing

This is truly a good beef sausage. I enjoyed all the different ones this brand makes. The biggest issue with these sausages across the board is the casing. The thin casing makes eating the sausage difficult to fully enjoy. A work around I have found is to peel the casing off, before cooking. You'll probably get only 80-90% of the casing off; however, it is a BIG game changer and a better experience.
