A while back a Friend on another forum Darrell (Checkered Past) sent me some of his Italian Sausage Seasoning to test.

Well we finally got around to making some of it and it Looks & Smells GREAT...

We fried some of it up to test it and the taste is unbelievable...

I believe he has a hit with this, It seems to have the perfect belend of spices, no spice overpowers the other. I highly recommend his seasoning.

Here are a few pictures of the process.

Those look great Paul. I got some of it to test also and was hoping to get to it next weekend. Based on your mild comment I may add some red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch
 
Those look great Paul! I've got a recipe for hot Italian sausage that I've been wanting to try. Seeing yours makes me want to do it today. Great job, great Q-view!
 
Thanks everyone for the fine compliments...  This is some really good stuff...

     Those look huge
The only small casings I had was some 35-38 Collagen for Polish Sausage or 21mm for snack sticks...  They are pretty big but had to use what I had available.

Make sure you got the mild  before adding too much,  I think he sent out both hot and mild.  The sticker should say.

Let us know how they turn out and hopefully share the recipe..
 
Nice sausages.

Do you find that the mixer if not full just rolls 5 lbs around in the middle of the paddles?
 
Nice looking sausage, Paul!!!!

Don't forget my close-ups of some cooked slices.

That's the only way my eyes can get an accurate taste!

With only 5# in it you have to back up ever so often to get it redistributed...

It works a lot better with about 10+ in it.
 
Nice looking sausage hope the taste is good for you. I always like to mix mine by hand because I do not make very much at one time..
 
Good Looking Sausage Paul!!

I make up 25# batches and package in 1# bags

Finally got my recipe "Tweaked" the way we like it.

Great looking Italian sausage..I love them simmered in a Italian tomato sauce with a ton of bell peppers and hot peppers sauteed in the sauce. Served on a fresh hoagie bun. I sure could go for one after seeing those beauties.
