This comment kinda reminded me of watching John Besh cook a jamb. He doesn't add his sausage until the very end…no searing or browning it. His thought process is that the sausage is a pre-cooked meat and doesn't require the extra work.

He changed my thought process for sure. I used to brown my sausage pretty good. But when I saw his cook, it got me to thinking. While I'm not all-in on his idea of adding it at the very end, I brown it considerably less than I used to. I basically heat it up to the point that it starts releasing that hint of smoke into pot then move on with my cook.

It definitely made my pot better.
