PRINT RECIPE

Sausage is a classic breakfast food, but it’s also an economical source of protein that can be enjoyed at every meal. Add more flavor to any recipe that calls for ground beef by substituting homemade 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 flavorful and contain less fat with this simple substitution.

Chorizo Seasoning

If you’re a fan of Mexican food, chorizo seasoning may be just what you’re looking for. Although traditional chorizo is made with pork or beef, adding this seasoning blend to venison sausage gives an authentic taste to tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, and makes a delicious addition to scrambled eggs, too.
