I wanted to share with you my recipe for Homemade Andouille Sausage. It is a bulk sausage recipe. Nothing complicated like grinding your own meat or filling casings here. I just know that finding fresh, unsmoked sausage is not always a simple thing to do in your local grocery store.

And what I discovered is you will probably have most, if not all of the spices you need for this recipe in your spice cabinet at home. All you have to do is measure out the spices and mix them into one pound of ground pork.

I like to let the sausage rest, covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 4 or more hours to let the spices get all happy. However, do whatever you have time for.

One ingredient that you may not have in your spice cabinet at home is Smoked salt. The reason I use smoked salt is the smokey flavor it adds to the sausage without adding unnecessary chemicals to the dish. Amazon carries one from the San Francisco Salt Company that is Alderwood smoked.

Contest Reminder

Another exciting twist is I am having a contest on a linked post. This Homemade Andouille Sausage recipe is actually for my Creole Dirty Rice recipe. If you watch that video during the contest time and enter to win you and 3 of your friends could win free smoked salt and an OXO Meat Chopper. The details are contained in that post.

You can use this bulk sausage for many other recipes. Mix this sausage into ground beef for amazing hamburgers or sliders. Brown it and toss in some cubed potatoes and diced onions for a breakfast hash. You could easily modify my Quick and Easy Havarti Slider Recipe to include this sausage. Just make two trays of sliders. Mix one pound of beef with one pound of sausage and split them between two 9 x 13 pans.
