Just getting into the home made pizza thing. Dough is ok. I found a cheese source. I order and received the base for the sauce.  My next step is sausage in that my favorite topping is sausage. But I was hoping to not have to make a large amount of sausage at a time. Does anyone have any recipes that would help me get started?

Thanks.

Hi,
in order to make sausage you'll need casings, salt, coarse black pepper, fennel seeds and of course coarse pork chop meat. You'll need a funnel or sausage attachment to a kitchen aid.

I've used this recipe with success and it's easy to make -
Italian Pizza Sausage

2 Lbs  - lean pork butt - cubed
1/4  Lb  - pork fat - cubed
1 Tbl - Salt
1 1/4 tspn - course black pepper
1 1/4 tspn - course ground Fennel seed
1/4 tspn - crushed red pepper
1/4 tspn - garlic powder
1 tspn - course ground Anise seed

For a Kitchen Aid Mixer fitted with the meat grinding attachment:

Grind the fat and meat together thru the course disc
mix in the spices and regrind with the fine disc
Stuff in casings or store in bulk

Realize you can also simply purchase some ground pork from your market or butcher and proceed from there as well.  We did this as we narrowed in on the spice package we want to use and haven't decided whether we'll continue with the ground pork, or go ahead and grind our own from butt roasts after we get opened up.
