Has anyone tried to eat low-fat Italian sausage (or regular, turkey sausage, etc..)?? If so, do you have to take the casing off before eating? I'm on solid foods now and I was thinking of making Italian sausage in the crockpot with peppers, onions and red sauce, but I don't want to if I can't eat it.

That sounds delish! Make some for me, please! (I don't think you'd have trouble with the casing if you are going to crockpot it, but that's no guarantee - just take it carefully).

LOL! I'll bring you some if I can stay with you in Australia...I've always wanted to go there! Thanks.

YUMMM!!! I just had sausage and peppers for dinner last night and all I can say is YUMMMMY!! No problems, the crockpot makes it so moist. ENJOY!

Hehe - you're on! I've got a spare bedroom and everything - but bring the crockpot!

I find that as long as I take small bites and chew VERY well, I have no problems with sausage - either a sweet italian sausage, or kielbasa or smoked sausage...I just have to take smaller bites.

I don't eat pork, but I do eat Kosher or halal beef or turkey sausages and never have a problem with casings if they are chewed well.

Having them cook slowly in the crock pot will probably work great. Just go slow and you should be good to go :0).

I eat Kielbasa fairly often and don't have a problem with the casing. I do however have to take TINY bites.

I love sausage from Sam's Club -- particularly Chicken Sausage with asiago cheese and spinach. Only 110 calories and a whopping 15g of protein for each link! I do take it out of the casing, break it up, and brown it in a pan.

I haven't had a problem with sausage either. I eat turkey sausage, low fat any sausage. LOL

Thanks all....I'll try it! That chicken, asiago, spinach sausage sounds awesome too!
