Italian Sausage From Scratch – No Rules, Just Flavor

Today I’m making my own Italian sausage — but not exactly by the book. I started with a recipe I found online, but of course, I had to put my own spin on it. I mixed ground pork with ground beef, swapped in herbs and spices based on what I had on hand (because who really has fennel on standby?), and made a quadruple batch to clean out the freezer. Whether you're new to sausage making or just looking for inspiration to cook with what you’ve got, this video is for you. Watch how I made this flavorful, versatile sausage that’s perfect for your next pasta dish, breakfast skillet, or pizza topping. 🔥 Ingredients I used 🍳 Tips for substituting spices 🧊 Freezer meal prep hacks Drop a comment if you’ve ever had to improvise like this — or if you’ve got your own sausage secrets to share!
