Italian Sausage

[Elkhunter]

Italian Sausage
5 pound batch


5 pounds venison or elk burger
25% suet
3teaspoon Fennel Seeds
4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
2 ½ teaspoon Salt
3 cloves fresh Garlic
1 ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper (black pepper)
4 oz. Parmesan Cheese
1 chopped Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Basil
½ Onion
2 tablespoon Sugar
1 ½ teaspoon Ground Red Pepper

Mix with burger - add water to help moisten and help marinade - add to a mushy consistency
Cover and let sit in fridge for 24 hours

Stuff into skins or use loose like burger

Note:This was originally made with 15%suet and felt it was too dry so I increased it to 25%. When we make it we do it in 50 lb. batches. I also cut back on the hot peppers as others said it was a little too hot. This is my own recipe made up from a combination of 4 different recipes. Hope you enjoy it.

I have had so many people ask for this one. I love Italian Sausage and this is by far up there as the best. It took several tries to get it to this point. I hope you try it and enjoy it. The stuffing it into casings is optional. A lot of people I know prefer to have it loose like burger.
