Smoked Sausage Egg Rolls

I thought I would try a unique spin on the average Chinese egg roll by using smoked sausage instead of ground pork! I was very happy with the results! These egg rolls are just as good as traditional egg rolls but are easier and less expensive to make! These are baked egg rolls, so they are healthier also!

The reason for using smoked sausage is because Johnsonville is one of the sponsers this month for the Allrecipes.com brand ambassador program, of which I am a proud member! This months assignment is to make some recipes from the large selection of Johnsonville sausage recipes posted on the Allrecipes website. I was surprised to see such a vast variety! Check out the Johnsonville sausage recipes *here* on Allrecipes.com. As a brand ambassadors I was also asked to take any beef recipes, of my choice, from the Allrecipes website and substitute Johnsonville sausage for the beef! I love these kinds of creative cooking assignments! So that's how my Smoked Sausage Egg Rolls were created! I took a recipe for beef egg rolls and tweaked it using the smoked sausage.

The Johnsonville sausage company was so very generous to give all the brand ambassadors a wonderful and very useful gift. Each brand ambassador (about 150 of us) were given this quality stoneware bake set from Sur La Table. Plus 4 free coupons for any Johnsonville sausage products! I was so happy to see that Johnsonville has such a huge selection of sausages! I'm not a fan of ground pork sausages. But when I saw that they also had a line of ''Fully Cooked Dinner Sausages' such as chicken sausages, brats, chipotle sausages, smoked sausages, and so much more, I was relieved!

Look at their sausage selection **here** You can also comment on their Facebook page. There you can also see lots of sausage recipes being made by other Allrecipes brand ambassadors! Johnsonville is kind enough to post those recipes directly onto their Facebook wall! Your recipe photos can be on there also! Just post the recipe that you've tried, with a photo, and the recipe link, to their wall. They appreciate feedback from happy customers!

I was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious the Johnsonville fully cooked smoked sausage tasted! This is the one I chose for my recipe above. The flavor reminded me of a good quality smoked kielbasa...and I love kielbasa!

I have a few more fun and unique sausage recipes to try this month! I'll be posting those creations in the very near future!

I look forward to many more delicious dinners using Johnsonville sausage!
