What it is
This is a package of raw pork sausage, seasoned and formed into a bulk style. It is made from ground pork and a blend of spices, offering a savory flavor profile. The sausage is uncooked and requires thorough cooking before consumption. It is typically found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores.
How people cook with it
Country style pork sausage is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of breakfast dishes and main courses.
- Breakfast scrambles
- Pasta sauces
- Stuffed peppers
- Sausage gravy
To cook, remove the sausage from its packaging. You can break it apart and brown it in a skillet over medium heat, draining off any excess fat as it cooks. Alternatively, it can be crumbled and added to sauces or used as a filling. Ensure the sausage is cooked through until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). It can also be formed into patties or links before cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Country style pork sausage is typically sold in a bulk, ground form, unlike links or patties which are pre-shaped. This allows for greater flexibility in how it is incorporated into dishes, such as crumbling it into sauces or stuffing vegetables.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused sausage in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be used within a few days to maintain freshness. For longer storage, the raw sausage can be frozen.
