Italian Sausage

Description

A great recipe for loose Italian sausage, used in my Chicago style deep dish pizza. This Italian sausage also makes a great pizza topping for other styles of pizza as well including New York, Sicilian, and Neapolitan. If using for pizzas other than Chicago, crumble and cook in a pan first, draining any liquid and fat before using. This Italian sausage is also great in tomato sauce, or it can be formed into patties for breakfast plates or sandwiches.
