Bacon wrapped sliced sausage on skewers

We need to change the way we think of sausage recipes. Yes, most sausages are tubes of seasoned and flavored ground meats and veggies in a casing. But sausage is made into patties too. And that means that hamburgers, hot dogs, and meatloaves are really sausages! Learn the science and safety behind grinding, seasoning, mixing, stuffing, and cooking sausage, then make your own from scratch. You’ll also find a few creative ideas here for using sausage in dishes such as meatloaf, breakfast tacos, sandwiches, and biscuits and gravy. If you broaden your meat-filled horizons, this section leads you to all kinds of sausage to enjoy.
