Homemade Italian Sausage Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, fennel seeds, paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Sausages

    Using your hands, form the mixture into sausage shapes, making them about 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausages

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Add the tomato sauce to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Return the cooked sausages to the skillet, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
