Hot Italian Sausage
2 pounds pork butt, cubed
1 ounce salt
1/4 ounce black pepper
1/4 ounce fennel seed
1/2 ounce garlic powder
1/4 ounce paprika
1/2 ounce dried parsley
1/2 ounce crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 orange bell pepper, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 ounce cheese of choice
1 to 2 ounces wine, grappa, or brandy
1 yard pork or lamb casings
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients, except casings, in a large bowl. Put the meat mixture through a grinder and grind according to manufacturer's instructions. Tie a knot in 1 end of a casing and begin filling the casings with the meat mixture, then tie off the other end of the casing once all the meat has been used. Twist the casing into 6 sausage links.
Bake sausage for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a grill.
Remove sausage links from oven and place on grill. Grill until crispy and golden brown. Spice up your favorite pasta recipe by adding sausage slices or enjoy your sausage the old-fashioned way, on a bun topped with your favorite condiments.

My favorite one is Sausage, Pepper and Onion sandwiches.....
1 lb. Sweet or Hot Italian Sausages
2 medium onions, sliced
3 medium sweet red peppers (can sub out green bell peppers, I just don't like the green ones, so I use red, yellow or orange peppers, whatever's available) sliced
Salt and Pepper
Saute Peppers in a tablespoon of oil (any) and when browned on all sides, add the pepper and onion slices, turn up heat to medium high and add 1/2 cup of liquid (white wine, broth, stock, whatever you have on hand, water will do!)
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover for about 20-30 minutes, until there is very little liquid in the pan.......Split open some hard rolls and add some peppers and onions then a sausage to it......cover in foil and bake 375 F for 15 minutes.......open and enjoy!!!

Cook’s Tips: We’ve chosen penne for this recipe, which are straight tubes of macaroni that are cut on the diagonal. Other sturdy shapes such as mostaccioli (short tubes), ziti (curved tubes) or rotini (spirals) can be used in this recipe. Perfectly cooked pasta should be al dente—tender but still firm to the bite. Test pasta for doneness before the time stated on the package. Get a head start on tomorrow’s dinner by cooking extra pasta. Drain the pasta thoroughly, then toss it with 1 teaspoon of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Place in an airtight container or resealable plastic food storage bag and refrigerate up to 3 days. Use it in salads or soups, or toss it with your favorite sauce. Italian seasoning can be substituted for the Italian Seasoning Mix, if desired.
