I thought this might come in handy for the holidays. I like summer sausage and smoked meats, but for one they are expensive and another thing is they are greasy! I use a lean meat and these are really good. I like them with Ritz crackers and cheese slices. They make the house smell yummy when they cook and your doggie will go nuts!
