Experience the robust flavor of Hot Italian sausage. This delicious sausage can be savored in various ways, whether you enjoy it nestled in a sandwich roll with sautéed peppers and onions or as a zesty topping on your favorite pizza. The versatility of this sausage makes it an excellent addition to many meals.

After carefully stuffing the sausage into Natural Hog Casings, you have several cooking options: simmering, frying, or baking in the oven. It’s important to treat the sausage as you would any fresh meat product after stuffing. Be sure to keep it either refrigerated or frozen when not in use. For optimal freshness, consume any seasoned sausage within two days if stored in the refrigerator. To preserve the best flavor and taste, it is recommended not to keep the sausage frozen for more than three months. On the other hand, Natural Casings can maintain their quality for up to one year in the fridge.

Here are some helpful tips for making sausage:

Sausage Making Tip #1: Keep the meat as close to freezing temperatures as possible throughout the process. This reduces the chance of crumbling when the sausage is cooked and helps maintain a desirable texture.

Sausage Making Tip #2: Limit the time the sausage sits at room temperature to 30 minutes or less. To ensure this, plan how many pounds of sausage you can grind, stuff, or package within that half-hour window. If you have a larger batch to make, breaking the task into smaller segments that fit this timeframe allows you to keep the meat colder—this practice enhances both safety and flavor.

This offering is for ONE 8 oz. bag only, which can season up to 25 pounds of meat. Please disregard the image of two bags associated with the seasoning on Amazon.

Blend #103 brings you the quintessential full-flavored Italian sausage in an 8 oz. bag, complete with all the necessary spices to create a HOT Italian sausage. The exclusive high-barrier, multi-wall packaging used by Legg ensures the seasoning remains fresh and flavorful for at least 12 months.

For a batch that is smaller than 25 pounds, the breakdown is straightforward: use 1 oz. of seasoning for every 3 pounds of meat. For your sausage, you have options; you can utilize 25 pounds of lean pork, ideally boneless pork shoulder butts, or substitute 22 pounds of lean pork with 3 pounds of lean beef. To prepare, empty the entire bag of seasoning into the 25 pounds of meat, ensuring thorough mixing—cutting the meat into smaller chunks beforehand will enhance mixing efficiency.

Finally, stuff the seasoned mixture into Natural Hog Casings to create sausage links or package the mixture into 1 lb. bulk freezer bags for easy storage. Enjoy crafting your flavorful Hot Italian sausage!
