The Buffalo Guys offered the Virtual Potluck gang a chance to try their Gourmet Buffalo Sausages. We received a package of Hot Dogs, Brats, Polish Sausages, and Andouille Sausage. The sausages were all pre-cooked and just had to be reheated.
The sausages arrived frozen, so I put them in the fridge. A few days later, I found myself needing something quick for supper. Buffalo Hot Dogs, what could be quicker? Let me say that I am not much of a hot dog eater, in fact I have been known to go hungry rather than eat a hot dog. Well I didn’t have any hot dog buns. Hmm, what to do? I decided to make a quick yeast dough that I rolled thin, cut into strips and wrapped around the hot dogs. Gourmet pigs in a blanket. I loved them and so did the rest of the family! There wasn’t time for any picture taking and there sure weren’t any leftovers! Come to find out, I love Buffalo Hot Dogs! There’s no MSG, Nitrites, fillers or other chemicals. In 2004, Bon Appetite Magazine listed this hot dog in their “Taste Test – Top Dogs” as “The Fit Frank”.
Next we had the Polish Sausages, just simmered and served with a little barbecue sauce and some fried potatoes. Super delicious, also no fillers, MSG, nitrites or chemicals.
I had never tried Andouille, and my sister-in-law suggested stuffed mushrooms, it turned out to be a REALLY good idea! I could have doubled or tripled the recipe because we totally fought over them, down to the last one! They were so good. I only used one of the sausages for the stuffed mushrooms. With 5 left, I decided a batch of red beans and rice was in order. Also fantastic! I figure you don’t need a recipe for red beans and rice, but if you’ve never made it, let me know and I will give you a run down. Also all natural, no chemicals, MSG, nitrites or fillers in the Andouille.
I haven’t tried the Brats yet, but I am assured they will be every bit as delicious as the rest of these quality, gourmet Buffalo sausages.

Who doesn’t love stuffed mushrooms…I’m sure they were extra yummy with the buffalo meat.
