This mix will season 2 pounds of ground pork. I use this sausage in any recipe calling for Italian sausage. It’s so yummy and I love that I know exactly what’s in my sausage!
You will need 1 teaspoon ground pepper, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons *Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon paprika (I use smoked paprika), 1 teaspoon minced dried onion, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt. If you like fennel seeds go ahead and add 1/2 a teaspoon. I’m the only one in my family that likes fennel seeds so I leave them out.
Mix all the spices and seasonings together and add them to 2 pounds of ground pork. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours before you cook it. You can easily cut the recipe in half if you only need a pound. The extra pound can be frozen for later easy enough.
This is great in spaghetti, on pizza, and I’ve been using in to make zucchini boats…. Oh soooo good!
