Optional Seasoning Blends
Sausage is a classic breakfast
food, but it’s also an economi-
cal source of protein that can be
enjoyed at every meal. Add more
flavor to any recipe that calls for
ground beef by substituting home-
made sausage.
The following seasoning blends
work especially well with Mexican
and Italian foods. However, your
shepherd’s pie, meatloaf, and even
hamburgers will also be more fla-
vorful and contain less fat with this
simple substitution.CHORIZO SEASONING

das. It makes a delicious addition to
