How much smoked sausage per person?

When it comes to planning a meal that includes smoked sausage, the amount you need per person will depend on various factors such as the type of meal, portion sizes, and if you have other side dishes. Here is a general guideline to help you estimate:

1. Sausage as the Main Course (i.e., Smoked sausage dinner):

- Adults (Average Appetite): 1.5 - 2 smoked sausage links per person.

- Children (6-12 years old): 1 - 1.5 smoked sausage links per person.

- Consider serving 1 additional link per person for those with larger appetites.

2. Sausage as Part of a Dish (i.e., Pasta, Soup, Rice, etc.):

- Adults: 1 - 1.5 smoked sausage links per person, chopped or sliced into bite-sized pieces.

- Children: 0.5 - 1 smoked sausage links per person.

- This guideline assumes you are combining the smoked sausage with other ingredients.

3. Sausage Snack or Appetizer:

- Adults (Snacking or Light Appetizer): 1 - 2 smoked sausage links per person.

- Children (Snack or Appetizer): 1 smoked sausage link per person.

Remember that these are just estimates, and portion sizes can vary based on personal preferences, hunger levels, and the accompaniments you serve alongside the smoked sausage. It's always better to have slightly more food than less.
