Premio Mild Italian Sausage Links
What it is
This is a package of mild Italian sausage links made by Premio. The sausage is seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices that are typical of Italian cuisine, but with a lower heat level than spicy varieties. It comes in convenient links, ready for cooking. The casing holds the seasoned ground pork together, making it easy to handle and cook evenly. It is a versatile ingredient for many meals.
How people cook with it
Mild Italian sausage is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for adding savory flavor to a wide range of dishes.
- Added to pasta sauces
- Cooked in casseroles
- Used in breakfast scrambles
- Grilled for sandwiches
To cook Premio Mild Italian Sausage, you can pan-fry, grill, or bake the links. For pan-frying, place the links in a skillet over medium heat and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Grilling involves placing the links on a preheated grill and cooking until they have nice grill marks and are fully cooked. Baking is another option; arrange the links on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until done. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
How it differs from similar foods
This mild Italian sausage differs from spicy Italian sausage primarily in its heat level. While both use similar savory herbs like fennel and garlic, the mild version contains less or no red pepper flakes, making it suitable for those who prefer a less fiery flavor profile. The texture and primary meat content are generally the same.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused sausage links in their original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within 3-5 days for optimal freshness. For longer storage, the sausage can be frozen.
