Introducing a delectable Italian sausage that boasts a rich flavor profile, featuring a delightful balance of fennel and sugar for that characteristic slightly sweet taste. To create this flavorful sausage, you can start with either 25 pounds of lean pork. If sourcing 80/20 pork trim from a butcher shop proves difficult, boneless pork shoulder butts make an excellent alternative. Alternatively, you can opt for a combination of 22 pounds of lean pork along with 3 pounds of lean beef for a slightly different flavor twist.

To prepare the sausage, simply pour the entire contents of the seasoning bag into your 25 pounds of meat, ensuring a thorough mix. It’s recommended to cut the meat into smaller chunks beforehand, as this facilitates better blending and ensures the seasonings are evenly distributed. Once your mixture is ready, you have two options: you can stuff the sausages into natural hog casings to form links or package the seasoned meat into 1-pound portions in bulk freezer bags.

Each 8-ounce seasoning bag is designed to flavor 25 pounds of meat, and you’ll be pleased to know that this seasoning blend contains no MSG. For smaller batches, the breakdown is convenient: 1 ounce of seasoning will effectively season approximately 3.125 pounds of meat, translating to about 0.32 ounces per pound. If you prefer to measure, 2 tablespoons equal 1 ounce, making it easy to get the proportions right.

Legg’s exclusive high-barrier, multi-wall packaging not only keeps the seasoning fresh but also preserves its robust flavor for at least 12 months. This means you can confidently store it in your pantry, knowing it will maintain its quality. The seasoning is versatile and works exceptionally well with not only pork but also beef or deer, making it suitable for various meats and personal preferences.

Ultimately, whether you're preparing a grand feast or stocking your freezer, this Italian sausage seasoning is designed to deliver a satisfying culinary experience. From its sweet, aromatic profile to the ease of preparation, it is an excellent choice for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs. Enjoy the process of creating your own specialty sausages, and relish in the delightful flavors that come with each bite.
