Hot Italian Sausage Seasoning can also be called Italian sausage spices, Italian sausage seasoning or spicy Italian sausage seasoning. This blend is herbaceous and aromatic, but also has the added kick of red and black pepper.  This seasoning will transform your home-made sausage into a zesty, delicious delight.

Sausage making originated to transport and preserve meat. Some of the earliest mentions of sausages date to 600 BC, in writings from China, Greece and Rome. Sausages come in two main types - cured and fresh. Cured sausages are cooked or dried and often smoked; fresh sausages are either cased or loose, but are cooked to be eaten right away.

Businesses that frequently purchase Hot Italian Sausage Seasoning are:

• independent spice shops; 
• seasoning companies; 
• olive oil shops; 
• pizza restaurants; 
• breweries; and 
• companies that manufacture jams

How To Use

We recommend using this blend to make our Deep Dish Hot Italian Sausage Pizza for pizza night.  Spice Italian Wedding Soup with Hot Italian Sausage Seasoning, or make a hot version of Sausage Tortellini Soup by swapping in the spicy blend. 

This seasoning can even be used in recipes without sausage or meat of any kind. Add it to roasted Hash Browns or blend it into the mix for a fiery Hot Italian Giardiniera.

When making sausage, we recommend 1 1/2-2 Tablespoons of Hot Italian Sausage Seasoning per pound of meat, since sausage tends to be more intensely seasoned that other dishes.

Add this blend to Bolognese sauce, lentils, roasted chickpeas, omelets, marinades, meatless mains like tofu or seitan, meatballs, in stuffed peppers, breakfast casserole, or breadings for chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
