Product Name: Hillshire Farm Gourmet Creations

Product Information:  While in NYC for BlogHer last month, I had the chance to try Hillshire Farms new Gourmet Creations sausage and I really enjoy it.   They had a few varieties for us to taste along with some meals we could have them create for us so we stopped by that booth a few times since it was so tasty!

My favorite was the Beef & Jalapeno with Monetary Jack Cheese and I couldn’t wait to get home and cook it up with some peppers and onions.  YUMMY!  Tasted just as good as the home made Italian sausage I have sometimes.
