Tough casing

The sausage itself is absolutely delicious, but the casing is inedible. I could not bite through it or cut it. I finally decided to just pull each cooked sausage out of the casing so we could eat them.

Although the flavor is good the saltiness ruins them. I had not purchased these original links for awhile and was surprised how salty they are. I will not be purchasing these any time soon. Make a lower sodium version please.

You know? I've never had a complaint about the breakfast sausages and prices are going up and quality is def going down. I bought the Johnsonville original breakfast sausage this Friday Feb 7th. The sausage were gamey and when I bit into it, the sausage squirted grease. Not cool. I'm really upset off about that. I don't think I'll go back to this product.n

Very disappointed, haven’t bought these for a while so decided to try several packages as they were on sale. There is nothing worse then having ground bone in the link. Big turn off.

I live in NJ and always loved this product. However, the last three times I've bought it they are covered in a thicker casing like the cheaper brands are. The third time is the last time I buy this.

These used to be favorite. I loved the maple syrup version. Served them to a young boy I babysit who called them " the good sausage". I bought 2 packages at a time. Ate 1 every day. Two for him. But...the sausages have changed. The texture and juiciness and flavor is different. I can't even taste the maple syrup anymore. I am going to stop buying them, sadly.

Very good quality product. Perfect blend of spices and the whole family loves it. Only problem is they go too quickly when put on the table.

The worst tasting sausage ever. It is full of fillers to the point that it didn’t produce any grease.
Not like they used to be 😢

These used to be our favorite breakfast sausages. They used to look as pictured here on the website, plump and juicy. Now they are skinny and dense. Like there is some filler or something in there. I guess we have to find a new favorite.

I purchased this product this month and there was a missing link. My son lives on this product. Prices are so high that having a missing link is disappointing.

Used to be good, but rubbery texture now
2 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
JF - 1 year ago
This used to be my favorite as they were good for the price. Now they’re rubbery and hard to press. I used to be able to flatten them to fit my ciabatta, but they don’t flatten. They just snap back. They still have that flavor that I like. I’m always looking for this specific sausage flavor, but disappointed in the texture they have now. When you review something once you can’t review again so I guess that explains the mixed review. They used to be good when they had a meatier texture. Still shows the same ingredients so more likely more skin/organ tissue included. They don’t sizzle, there’s no run off fat. They just seize up. I bought 3 packs because they were usually good.
1 reply from Johnsonville Team team - 1 year ago
Hello! Thanks for providing us feedback. Our Fresh Breakfast Links are made with a beef collagen casing. We always recommend our consumers cook them low and slow to avoid casings from bursting and drying the meat inside. Be sure to check out our Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage as that may be the meatier texture you are looking for!

It was gross! The meat was spoiled and Rancid smelling. It took all day to get the smell of the meat out of my house. Even our dogs wouldn’t touch it.

Love these little breakfast Sausages. Easy to cook and no fat or oil is needed to cook. Sometimes I also I like to butterfly cut these and cook them on then grill. Getting a nice grilled tasted.
