New York Style Sausage Company Mild Italian Sausage
What it is
This is a ground pork sausage seasoned with a blend of mild Italian spices. It is typically sold in links or as bulk ground meat. The sausage is pre-seasoned, making it convenient for quick meal preparation. The pork offers a rich flavor that is enhanced by the aromatic herbs and spices.
How people cook with it
Mild Italian sausage is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from pasta sauces to hearty main courses.
- Pasta sauces
- Sheet pan dinners
- Stuffed peppers
- Breakfast scrambles
To cook, remove the sausage from its packaging. If in casings, you can remove them and crumble the meat, or cook the links whole. For bulk sausage, brown it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. If cooking links, you can pan-fry them, grill them, or bake them until they are cooked through and browned. The rendered fat can be used to add flavor to other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hot Italian sausage, this mild version has a lower level of spice, primarily from black pepper and other herbs, rather than significant amounts of red pepper flakes. This makes it more approachable for those who prefer less heat in their meals.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and easy-to-use meat for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage promptly. It should be kept in its original packaging or transferred to an airtight container. Properly stored, it can be kept in the refrigerator for several days.
