McCormick Smoked Sausage Seasoning Mix
What it is
This is a dry seasoning blend designed to impart a smoky, savory flavor to homemade sausages. It contains a carefully selected combination of spices and seasonings that mimic the taste of traditionally smoked meats. The mix is formulated for convenience, allowing home cooks to achieve a professional-level flavor profile without the need for actual smoking equipment. It provides a consistent and balanced taste experience for various sausage preparations.
How people cook with it
This seasoning mix is ideal for creating flavorful pork, beef, or poultry sausages from scratch. It can also be used to enhance the taste of other ground meat dishes.
- Seasoning ground meats for sausage making
- Adding smoky depth to meatballs
- Flavoring burgers
- Enhancing stews and chilis
To make sausage, combine the seasoning mix with your ground meat of choice, such as pork, beef, or chicken. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat for consistent flavor. You can then proceed to stuff the mixture into casings or form it into patties or loaves, depending on your desired sausage type. For other applications, such as meatballs or burgers, simply mix the seasoning into the ground meat before forming and cooking. The amount to use can be adjusted to personal preference for a stronger or milder smoky taste.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh sausage seasonings that might focus on herbs and spices, this blend specifically aims to replicate the rich, deep flavor of smoked sausage. It provides a shortcut to achieving that characteristic smoky essence without the lengthy process of actual smoking, offering a distinct taste profile.

How to keep the rest
Store the unused portion of the seasoning mix in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the package is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. Proper storage will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the spices for future cooking endeavors.
