Italian Pork Sausage: It’s What to Make for Dinner

Whether on a pizza, in a calzone, in a Bolognese, meatballs, meatloaf, or in a bun; it’s juicy, meaty decadence keeps us coming back for more. Enjoy Italian pork sausage by making it yourself and using it in a fresh new way. Any way you slice it, Italian pork sausage is what to make for dinner.

Make it Yourself

Authentic Italian Sausage

This makes five pounds of sausage.  Scale up or down to suit your family’s needs.  Refrigerate up to three days or freeze up to three months.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ lbs. well-marbled pork butt
• 2 lbs. slab bacon or pork jowls
• 1 ½ tbs. kosher salt
• 1 tbs. fresh ground black pepper
• 1 ½  tbs. fennel seed
• 2 tbs. crushed red pepper
• 1 tbs. sugar
• ½ of a large onion, chopped fine
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped fine
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• Casings (natural sheep casing is best, talk to local butcher shop for these)

Directions:

Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly in a large bowl and refrigerate overnight (this step is crucial to maximum flavor development). Now run the mixed sausage through the grinder one more time with the stuffer attachment and stuff into natural hog or sheep casings, if desired.

Fresh Ideas

• Stuff into bell pepper halves-perfect for low carb!

• Shape into patties and serve with cappuccino and pastries for an Italian twist on breakfast!
