This recipe is to be used in place of Italian sausages without the casings, the amount of spice blend is good for 2 pounds of ground pork, I most always add in an a small onion and 2 tablespoons fresh garlic to the pork mixture in place of the dried, you might want to adjust the seasonings to suit taste, and for spicy add in 1-2 teaspoons crushed chili flakes or to taste --- if desired you may cover and refrigerate the uncooked pork mixture overnight to blend the flavors even more!

2 pounds pork (change servings and units)

This was amazing!!! I used it on ground beef that I was adding to spaghetti sauce. I wanted the taste of italian sausage w/out the calories & fat. It turned out FABULOUS!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!

This was great ~ I did leave the black pepper out because of an allergy, but that's the main reason that I chose this is because most commercially prepared Italian sausage has black pepper as an ingredient. I used this with ground turkey for a great pizza topping. Thanks Kit! Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

Better than store brought!!! I needed some Italian sausage and only had some mild pork sausage in the house so I decided I would try this recipe for Sausage and Cheese Potato Casserole. I also used Italian Dressing Seasoning Dry Mix cause I didn't have any Italian seasoning. This was a fantastic recipe! We really enjoyed the flavor alot! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe! Its one I know I will be using alot more often, for sure

This recipe inspired me to create my own sausages! I made porc & tofu sausages tonight and all my family loved it! I have done some changes to the recipe (ommit parsley, replace the italian seasonings by dried oregano & basil, etc.) but wanted to say that the base of that recipe is truly amazing, I recommend it! Get inspired!
