Premio Sweet Italian Sausage
What it is
This is a ground pork sausage seasoned with a blend of sweet Italian spices. It is typically sold in links or as bulk ground sausage. The meat is finely ground and encased in natural casings for the links. The seasoning is balanced to provide a savory flavor without being overly spicy. It is a versatile ingredient for many dishes.
How people cook with it
This sausage is excellent for adding rich flavor to a variety of meals. It can be used as a main component or as an addition to enhance other dishes.
- Added to pasta sauces
- Cooked in casseroles
- Used in breakfast scrambles
- Grilled as a main course
To cook, remove the sausage from its packaging. If using links, you can prick them a few times to allow fat to render. For bulk sausage, crumble it into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove excess grease if desired. It can then be incorporated into your chosen recipe or served as is.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hot Italian sausage, this variety uses less red pepper flakes, resulting in a milder, sweeter flavor profile. The seasoning blend focuses on herbs like fennel and basil, creating a distinct taste that is less piquant.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage promptly. It should be stored in its original packaging or an airtight container. Properly stored, it will remain fresh for several days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, it can be frozen.
