What Brand of Spicy Sausage do You use for this Recipe? Do they also Have A Non Spicy Sausage Version that I Can Get. I can’t Stomach Anything SPICY.
THANK YOU 😊
I just buy whatever is at the current store I’m in. Aldi and Walmart each have their own brands.
I’m pregnant currently and anything with spice gives me terrible heartburn now. So last night I made this with regular ground pork and added the seasonings from this recipe: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/homemade-italian-sausage/
It turned out delicious!!
