Ingredients for Sweet Italian Sausage Links
Gather the following ingredients to make your own sweet Italian sausage links:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 package sausage casings
Instructions for Making Sweet Italian Sausage Links:
- Start by mixing all the ingredients, except for the water and sausage casings, in a large bowl. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Add the cold water to the mixture and mix until well combined. The water will help keep the sausage links moist and juicy.
- Prepare the sausage casings by rinsing them in cold water and then soaking them in warm water for 30 minutes.
- Next, attach the sausage stuffer to your stand mixer and fill it with the sausage mixture. Take one end of the casing and slide it onto the stuffer, leaving a few inches of casing hanging off the end.
- Turn the stand mixer on low and start filling the casing with the sausage mixture. As the sausage fills the casing, gently twist the casing every few inches to create individual sausage links.
- Once all the sausage mixture has been used, tie off the end of the casing and cut the links to your desired size.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Once hot, add the sausage links and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
- Serve the sweet Italian sausage links with your favorite side dishes or incorporate them into a tasty recipe.
Tips for Perfect Sweet Italian Sausage Links:
- Make sure to use freshly ground spices for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
- If you don't have a sausage stuffer, you can still make sausage patties with this recipe.
- Don't overcook the sausage links, as they can become dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
