Once stuffed into Natural Hog Casings, you can choose to cook your sausage by simmering, frying, or baking in the oven. It's important to treat the sausage as you would any fresh meat product after stuffing. Always keep it refrigerated or frozen when not in use. If you have seasoned sausage, make sure to consume it within two days when stored in the refrigerator for optimal quality. For the best flavor, avoid keeping the sausage in the freezer for longer than three months. On the other hand, your Natural Casings will remain good for one year in the refrigerator.

Sausage Making Tip #1: Throughout the stuffing and cooking process, aim to maintain the meat at near-freezing temperatures. This practice will help prevent the sausage from crumbling during cooking.

Sausage Making Tip #2: Limit the time your sausage stays at room temperature to 30 minutes or less. To maximize efficiency, estimate how many pounds of sausage you can grind, stuff, or pack in under 30 minutes. If you're preparing a substantial amount, consider dividing it into smaller batches that can be managed within this time frame. Keeping the meat as chilled as possible is not only safer but also enhances the flavor of the final product.

For those working with larger quantities, two 8 oz. bags of seasoning are designed to season up to 50 lbs of meat without the use of MSG.

Legg's unique high-barrier multi-wall packaging ensures the seasoning remains fresh and flavorful for at least a year. This seasoning works exceptionally well with a variety of meats, including beef, deer, elk, moose, wild boar, antelope, and more.

For smaller batches, a guideline of three tablespoons of seasoning per five pounds of meat is recommended. Enjoy a mild yet flavorful Italian sausage that includes ample fennel, delivering an authentic Italian sausage taste.

By following these tips and best practices, you’ll not only ensure food safety, but you’ll also achieve a better tasting sausage that showcases rich flavors and great texture. So whether you're making sausages for a special occasion or for everyday meals, remember to keep the meat cold, work efficiently, and enjoy the delicious results!
