For even browning on the grill, consider using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe 160°F. If using a skillet, ensure the sausages don't overcrowd the pan for optimal browning. Sausage selection can significantly impact the final flavor. Experiment with different varieties to find your favorite. Always ensure sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F to ensure they are safe to eat.
