How to Use Your Sausage Seasoning

Pork Sausage Seasoning

...Per pound of meat, I recommend using 2 tablespoons...

So this recipe will be enough for 3 pounds of ground pork. A good idea is to take a little of your meat and combine with a little of the seasoning and then pan fry.

This way you can have a quick taste and see if it's to your liking. i.e you may need more salt or a little more cayenne etc. Note: If you have a lot of meat to prepare, you can double or treble the amounts of each ingredient.
