Italian Sausage

Italian sausage has so many uses and I much prefer to make it at home rather than buy it in the store because then I have complete control over the spices in it, the heat level, everything. I use Italian sausage in spaghetti sauce, I'll mix it 50/50 with beef for one of the most flavorful burgers you've ever sunk your teeth into, I'll also do the same with meatloaf. It's great fried up with eggs for a morning omelet. Its uses are pretty much endless. Just think outside the box and figure out where you could put this.
