Frugal Friday: Cheap Italian Sausage

My husband loves Italian sausage on his pizza! Its just so expensive. Well, here is a way to save a couple of dollars. Use a 1 lb roll of Mild Sausage. Crumble it up and add 1 1/2 t. fennel, 1/4 t. garlic powder, some Italian seasoning and a sprinkling of dill weed. I would mix this up in my Bosch mixer using the kneading hook or you can use your hands to mix in the seasonings. Fry like you normally would and drain off the grease. This makes a wonderful addition to pizza or spaghetti. My local grocery has had the 1 lb rolls on sale recently for a dollar each, and I stocked up on them and have enough to last quite a while.

Another thing to do which we have done for years because first we didn't like pork and then to save money. Ask the butcher to buy some of the Italian sausage seasoning. They will usually sell it to you fairly cheap, sometimes quite a lot for under a dollar. Mix it into any raw ground meat and there you have sausage! We would get ground turkey really cheap sometimes like .59 a lb and have Italian sausage really cheap!
