I have made this personally and I can attest to its amazing flavors. Even sold this at the local Visalia Farmers Market in the morning mixed with eggs and salsa in a warm tortilla and ran out every Saturday.

Spicy Italian Sausage

Servings 112 - 1 oz patties or 28 links

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cooktime 3-5 Minutes

Ingredients

1. 5-7 lbs. Ground Pork (or preferred meat or poultry)
2. 1 Package Pollen Ranch Italian Sausage Spice
3. ¼- ½ Cup Water (Optionally -  Olive Oil, Wine and Smoke flavor)
4. Casings for 15-28 links (each lb. of meat=3-4 links)

Directions:

• If you ground it yourself make sure to follow the manufacturers guidlines.
• Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a large bowl. The mix should feel moist and hold together.
• Stuff mix into casings and twist and tie ends like you would a balloon. You can also smashed into patties and freeze for later.
• These will last for at least 6 weeks in a freezer if sealed good in a zip-lock bag.

I usually put roughly half of the sausage in a freezer bag with no casings and just in ground form. This makes for a great addition to spaghetti, breakfast burrittos and sausage with eggs.
